Felix Health Checks

Based on a simple HealthCheck SPI interface, Felix Health Checks are used to check the health/availability of Apache Felix instances at runtime based on inputs like

  • OSGi framework status
  • JMX MBean attribute values
  • OSGi service(s) / SCR component(s) availablility
  • ... or any context information retrievable via any API

Health checks are easily extensible either by

  • configuring the default HealthCheck services in bundle general checks (can be configuration or scripts, see out-of-the-box checks). For simple setups, the out-of-the-box health checks are often sufficient
  • or by implementing your own HealthCheck to cater special requirements (this is done by just registering a service for this interface)

There are various ways to execute health checks - this is a good starting point to get familiar with how health checks work.

See also:

Use cases

Generally health checks have two high level use cases:

  • Load balancers/orchestration engines can query the health of an instance and decide when to route requests to it
  • Operations teams checking instances for their internal state manually

The strength of Health Checks are to surface internal state for external use:

  • Check that all OSGi bundles are up and running
  • Verify that performance counters are in range
  • Ping external systems and raise alarms if they are down
  • Run smoke tests at system startup
  • Check that demo content has been removed from a production system
  • Check that demo accounts are disabled

The health check subsystem uses tags to select which health checks to execute so you can for example execute just the performance or security health checks once they are configured with the corresponding tags.

The out of the box health check services also allow for using them as JMX aggregators and processors, which take JMX attribute values as input and make the results accessible via JMX MBeans.

Implementing HealthChecks

Health checks can be contributed by any bundle via the provided SPI interface. It is best practice to implement a health check as part of the bundle that contains the functionality being checked.

The HealthCheck SPI interface

A HealthCheck is just an OSGi service that returns a Result.

    public interface HealthCheck {
        
        /** Execute this health check and return a {@link Result} 
         *  This is meant to execute quickly, access to external
         *  systems, for example, should be managed asynchronously.
         */
        public Result execute();
    }

A simple health check implementation might look like follows:

    public class SampleHealthCheck implements HealthCheck {

        @Override
        public Result execute() {
            FormattingResultLog log = new FormattingResultLog();
            ...
            log.info("Checking my context {}", myContextObject);
            if(myContextObject.retrieveStatus() != ...expected value...) {
                log.warn("Problem with ...");
            }
            if(myContextObject.retrieveOtherStatus() != ...expected value...) {
                log.critical("Cricital Problem with ...");
            }
            return new Result(log);
        }

    }

The Result is a simple immutable class that provides a Status via getStatus() (OK, WARN, CRITICAL etc.) and one or more log-like messages that can provide more info about what, if anything, went wrong.

Instead of using Log4j side by side with ResultLog/FormattingResultLog it is recommended to turn on autoLogging in the health check executor config in order to keep the implementation classes DRY. NOTE: This feature does not work with checks implemented against the legacy Sling interface.

Semantic meaning of health check results

In order to make health check results aggregatable in a reasonable way, it is important that result status values are used in a consistent way across different checks. When implementing custom health checks, comply to the following table:

StatusSystem is functionalMeaningActions possible for machine clientsActions possible for human clients
OKyesEverything is ok.If system is not actively used yet, a load balancer might decide to take the system to production after receiving this status for the first time.Otherwise no action neededResponse logs might still provide information to a human on why the system currently is healthy. E.g. it might show 30% disk used which indicates that no action will be required for a long time
WARNyesTendency to CRITICAL
System is fully functional but actions are needed to avoid a CRITICAL status in the future
Certain actions can be configured for known, actionable warnings, e.g. if disk space is low, it could be dynamically extended using infrastructure APIs if on virtual infrastructure)Pass on information to monitoring system to be available to humans (in other aggregator UIs)Any manual steps that a human can perform based on their knowledge to avoid the system to get to CRITICAL state
TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE *)noTendency to OK
System is not functional at the moment but is expected to become OK (or at least WARN) without action. An health check using this status is expected to turn CRITICAL after a certain period returning TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE
Take out system from load balancingWait until TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE status turns into either OK or CRITICALWait and monitor result logs of health check returning TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE
CRITICALnoSystem is not functional and must not be usedTake out system from load balancingDecommission system entirely and re-provision from scratchAny manual steps that a human can perform based on their knowledge to bring the system back to state OK
HEALTH_CHECK_ERRORnoActual status unknown
There was an error in correctly calculating one of the status values above. Like CRITICAL but with the hint that the health check probe itself might be the problem (and the system could well be in state OK)
Treat exactly the same as CRITICALFix health check implementation or configuration to ensure a correct status can be calculated

*) The health check executor automatically turns checks that coninuosly return TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE into CRITICAL after a certain grace period, see Configuring the Health Check Executor

Configuring Health Checks

HealthCheck services are created via OSGi configurations. Generic health check service properties are interpreted by the health check executor service. Custom health check service properties can be used by the health check implementation itself to configure its behaviour.

The following generic Health Check properties may be used for all checks (all service properties are optional):

PropertyTypeDescription
hc.nameStringThe name of the health check as shown in UI
hc.tagsString[]List of tags: Both Felix Console Plugin and Health Check servlet support selecting relevant checks by providing a list of tags
hc.mbean.nameStringMakes the HC result available via given MBean name. If not provided no MBean is created for that HealthCheck
hc.async.cronExpressionStringExecutes the health check asynchronously using the cron expression provided. Use this for long running health checks to avoid execution every time the tag/name is queried. Prefer configuring a HealthCheckMonitor if you only want to regularly execute a HC.
hc.async.intervalInSecLongAsync execution like hc.async.cronExpression but using an interval
hc.resultCacheTtlInMsLongOverrides the global default TTL as configured in health check executor for health check responses
hc.keepNonOkResultsStickyForSecLongIf given, non-ok results from past executions will be taken into account as well for the given seconds (use Long.MAX_VALUE for indefinitely). Useful for unhealthy system states that disappear but might leave the system at an inconsistent state (e.g. an event queue overflow where somebody needs to intervene manually) or for checks that should only go back to OK with a delay (can be useful for load balancers).

Annotations to simplify configuration of custom Health Checks

To configure the defaults for the service properties above, the following annotations can be used:

// standard OSGi
@Component 
@Designate(ocd = MyCustomCheckConfig.class, factory = true)  

// to set `hc.name` and `hc.tags`
@HealthCheckService(name = "Custom Check Name", tags= {"tag1", "tag2"})

// to set `hc.async.cronExpression` or  `hc.async.intervalInSec`
@Async(cronExpression="0 0 12 1 * ?" /*, intervalInSec = 60 */)

// to set `hc.resultCacheTtlInMs`:
@ResultTTL(resultCacheTtlInMs = 10000)

// to set `hc.mbean.name`:
@HealthCheckMBean(name = "MyCustomCheck")

// to set `hc.keepNonOkResultsStickyForSec`:
@Sticky(keepNonOkResultsStickyForSec = 10)
public class MyCustomHealthCheck implements HealthCheck {
...

General purpose health checks available out-of-the-box

The following checks are contained in bundle org.apache.felix.healthcheck.generalchecks and can be activated by simple configuration:

CheckPIDFactoryDescription
Framework Startlevelorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.FrameworkStartChecknoChecks the OSGi framework startlevel - targetStartLevel allows to configure a target start level, targetStartLevel.propName can be used to read it from the framework/system properties.
Services Readyorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.ServicesCheckyesChecks for the existance of the given services. services.list can contain simple service names or filter expressions
Components Readyorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.DsComponentsCheckyesChecks for the existance of the given components. Use components.list to list required active components (use component names)
Bundles Startedorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.BundlesStartedCheckyesChecks for started bundles - includesRegex and excludesRegex control what bundles are checked.
Disk Spaceorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.DiskSpaceCheckyesChecks for disk space usage at the given paths diskPaths and checks them against thresholds diskUsedThresholdWarn (default 90%) and diskUsedThresholdCritical (default 97%)
Memoryorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.MemoryChecknoChecks for Memory usage - heapUsedPercentageThresholdWarn (default 90%) and heapUsedPercentageThresholdCritical (default 99%) can be set to control what memory usage produces status WARN and CRITICAL
CPUorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.CpuChecknoChecks for CPU usage - cpuPercentageThresholdWarn (default 95%) can be set to control what CPU usage produces status WARN (check never results in CRITICAL)
Thread Usageorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.ThreadUsageChecknoChecks via ThreadMXBean.findDeadlockedThreads() for deadlocks and analyses the CPU usage of each thread via a configurable time period (samplePeriodInMs defaults to 200ms). Uses cpuPercentageThresholdWarn (default 95%) to WARN about high thread utilisation.
JMX Attribute Checkorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.JmxAttributeCheckyesAllows to check an arbitrary JMX attribute (using the configured mbean mbean.name's attribute attribute.name) against a given constraint attribute.value.constraint (see Constraints). Can check multiple attributes by providing additional config properties with numbers: mbean2.name (defaults to mbean.name if ommitted), attribute2.name and attribute2.value.constraint and mbean3.name, attribute3.name and attribute3.value.constraint
Http Requests Checkorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.HttpRequestsCheckyesAllows to check a list of URLs against response code, response headers, timing, response content (plain content via RegEx or JSON via path expression). See Request Spec Syntax
Scripted Checkorg.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.ScriptedHealthCheckyesAllows to run an arbitrary script. To configure use either script (to provide a script directly) or scriptUrl (to link to an external script, usually a file URL). Use language property to refer to a registered script engine (e.g. install bundle groovy-all to be able to use language groovy)

Constraints

The JMX Attribute Check and Http Requests Check allow to check values against contraints. See the following examples:

  • value string value (checks for equality)
  • value = 0
  • value > 0
  • value < 100
  • value BETWEEN 3 AND 7
  • value CONTAINS a string to find in value (searches for a string to find in value in value)
  • value STARTS_WITH prefix string (checks for prefix prefix string)
  • value ENDS_WITH suffixStr (checks for suffix suffixStr )
  • value MATCHES ^.*SomeRegEx[0-9]$ (checks for the given RegEx)
  • value OLDER_THAN 100 ms (checks a time value to be older than given value, other units s, min, h, days are supported as well, e.g. OLDER_THAN 10 days)
  • NOT prefix works for all expressions, e.g. NOT 20, NOT > 20, NOT BETWEEN 3 AND 7, NOT MATCHES ^.*SomeRegEx[0-9]$

Also see class org.apache.felix.hc.generalchecks.util.SimpleConstraintsChecker and its JUnit test.

Request Spec Syntax

The Http Requests Check allows to configure a list of request specs. Requests specs have two parts: Before => can be a simple URL/path with curl-syntax advanced options (e.g. setting a header with -H "Test: Test val"), after the => it is a simple response code that can be followed && MATCHES <RegEx> to match the response entity against or other matchers like HEADER, TIME or JSON.

Examples:

  • /path/example.html: assumes 200 for the request to localhost:
  • http://www.example.com/path/example.html => 200: explicitly checking 200 response code for full URL
  • /protected/example.html => 401: protected page
  • -u admin:admin /protected/example.html => 200: protected page with password (only use for non-sensitive credentials)
  • /path/example.html => 200 && MATCHES <title>html title.*</title>: ensure 200 response and matching content
  • /path/example.html => 200 && HEADER Content-Type MATCHES text/html.*: Checks for content type
  • /path/example.json => 200 && JSON [3].prop = myval: checks JSON response's third element for property prop to equal to myval
  • -H "Test: Test val" /path/example.json => 200 && JSON .city STARTS_WITH New: checks JSON response's city property to start with New
  • /path/example-timing-important.html => 200 && TIME < 5 ms: Checks if the response time is smaller than specified

All constraints from Constraints can be used.

Adjustable Status Health Check

This is a health check that can be dynamically controlled via JMX bean org.apache.felix.healthcheck:type=AdjustableStatusHealthCheck. It allows to dynamically add a health check that returns WARN (operation addWarnResultForTags(String)), CRITICAL (operation addCriticalResultForTags(String)) or TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE (operation addTemporarilyUnavailableResultForTags(String)) for certain tags. This is useful for testing purposes or go-live sequences. The operation reset() removes the dynamic result again.

Executing Health Checks

Health Checks can be executed via a webconsole plugin, the health check servlet or via JMX. HealthCheck services can be selected for execution based on their hc.tags multi-value service property.

The HealthCheckFilter utility accepts positive and negative tag parameters, so that osgi,-security selects all HealthCheck having the osgi tag but not the security tag, for example.

For advanced use cases it is also possible to use the API directly by using the interface org.apache.felix.hc.api.execution.HealthCheckExecutor.

Configuring the Health Check Executor

The health check executor can optionally be configured via service PID org.apache.felix.hc.core.impl.executor.HealthCheckExecutorImpl:

PropertyTypeDefaultDescription
timeoutInMsLong2000msTimeout in ms until a check is marked as timed out
longRunningFutureThresholdForCriticalMsLong300000ms (5min)Threshold in ms until a check is marked as ‘exceedingly’ timed out and will marked CRITICAL instead of WARN only
resultCacheTtlInMsLong2000msResult Cache time to live - results will be cached for the given time
temporarilyAvailableGracePeriodInMsLong60000ms (10min)After this configured period, health checks continously reporting TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE are automatically turned into status CRITICAL
autoLoggingBooleanfalseIf enabled, will automatically log entries of ResultLog (or FormattingResultLog resp.) using Log4j. The logging category used is the class instantiating ResultLog prefixed with ‘healthchecks.’, for instance ‘healthchecks.com.mycorp.myplatform.mymodule.ModuleCheck’. The prefix allows for easy configuration of a log file containing all health check results.

JMX access to health checks

Health checks that define the service property hc.mbean.name will automatically get the JMX bean with that name, the domain org.apache.felix.healthcheck and with the type HealthCheck registered. The bean provides access to the Result (status, logs, etc.)

Health Check Servlet

The health check servlet allows to query the checks via http. It provides similar features to the Web Console plugin described above, with output in HTML, JSON (plain or jsonp) and TXT (concise or verbose) formats (see HTML format rendering page for more documentation).

The Health Checks Servlet is disabled by default, to enable it create an OSGi configuration like

PID = org.apache.felix.hc.core.impl.servlet.HealthCheckExecutorServlet
servletPath = /system/health

which specifies the servlet's base path. That URL then returns an HTML page, by default with the results of all active health checks and with instructions at the end of the page about URL parameters which can be used to select specific Health Checks and control their execution and output format.

Note that by design the Health Checks Servlet doesn't do any access control by itself to ensure it can detect unhealthy states of the authentication itself. Make sure the configured path is only accessible to relevant infrastructure and operations people. Usually all /system/* paths are only accessible from a local network and not routed to the Internet.

By default the HC servlet sends the CORS header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * to allow for client-side browser integrations. The behaviour can be configured using the OSGi config property cors.accessControlAllowOrigin (a blank value disables the header).

Webconsole plugin

If the org.apache.felix.hc.webconsole bundle is installed, a webconsole plugin at /system/console/healthcheck allows for executing health checks, optionally selected based on their tags (positive and negative selection, see the HealthCheckFilter mention above).

The DEBUG logs of health checks can optionally be displayed, and an option allows for showing only health checks that have a non-OK status.

Gogo Console

The Gogo command hc:exec can be used as follows:

hc:exec [-v] [-a] tag1,tag2
  -v verbose/debug
  -a combine tags with and logic (instead of or logic)

The command is available without installing additional bundles (it is included in the core bundle org.apache.felix.healthcheck.core)

Monitoring Health Checks

Setting up a monitor configuration

By default, health checks are only executed if explicitly triggered via one of the mechanisms as described in Executing Health Checks (servlet, web console plugin, JMX, executor API). With the HealthCheckMonitor, Health checks can be regularly monitored by configuring the the factory PID org.apache.felix.hc.core.impl.monitor.HealthCheckMonitor with the following properties:

PropertyTypeDefaultDescription
tags and/or namesString[]none, at least one of the two is requiredWill regularly call all given tags and/or names. All given tags/names are executed in parallel. If the set of tags/names include some checks multiple times it does not matter, the HealthCheckExecutor will always ensure checks are executed once at a time only.
intervalInSec or cronExpressionLong or String (cron)none, one of the two is requiredThe interval in which the given tags/names will be executed
registerHealthyMarkerServicebooleantrueFor the case a given tag/name is healthy, will register a service org.apache.felix.hc.api.condition.Healthy with property tag= (or name=<hc.name>) that other services can depend on. For the special case of the tag systemready, the marker service org.apache.felix.hc.api.condition.SystemReady is registered
registerUnhealthyMarkerServicebooleanfalseFor the case a given tag/name is unhealthy, will register a service org.apache.felix.hc.api.condition.Unhealthy with property tag= (or name=<hc.name>) that other services can depend on
treatWarnAsHealthybooleantrueWARN usually means the system is usable, hence WARN is treated as healthy by default. When set to false WARN is treated as Unhealthy
sendEventsenum NONE, STATUS_CHANGES or ALLSTATUS_CHANGESWhether to send events for health check status changes. See below for details.
logResultsenum NONE, STATUS_CHANGES or ALLNONE Whether to log the result of the monitor to the regular log file
isDynamicbooleanfalseIn dynamic mode all checks for names/tags are monitored individually (this means events are sent/services registered for name only, never for given tags). This mode allows to use * in tags to query for all health checks in system. It is also possible to query for all except certain tags by using -, e.g. by configuring the values *, -tag1 and -tag2 for tags.

Marker Service to depend on a health status in SCR Components

It is possible to use OSGi service references to depend on the health status of a certain
tag or name. For that to work, a HealthCheckMonitor needs to be configured for the relevant tag or name. To depend on a health status in a component, use a @Reference to one of the marker services Healthy, Unhealthy and SystemReady - this will then automatically activate/deactivate the component based on the certain health status. To activate a component only upon healthiness of a certain tag/name use the following code:

   @Reference(target="(tag=dbavail)")
   Healthy healthy;
 
   @Reference(target="(name=My Health Check)")
   Healthy healthy;

For the special tag systemready, there is a convenience marker interface available:

   @Reference
   SystemReady systemReady;

It is also possible to depend on a unhealthy state (e.g. for fallback functionality or self-healing):

   @Reference(target="(tag=dbavail)")
   Unhealthy unhealthy;

NOTE: This does not support the RFC 242 Condition Service yet - however once final the marker services will also be able to implement the Condition interface.

OSGi events for Health Check status changes and updates

OSGi events with topic org/apache/felix/health/* are sent for tags/names that a HealthCheckMonitor is configured for and if sendEvents is set to STATUS_CHANGES or ALL:

  • STATUS_CHANGES notifies only of status changes with suffix /STATUS_CHANGED
  • ALL sends events whenever the monitor runs, depending on status will either send the event with suffix /UPDATED or /STATUS_CHANGED

All events sent generally carry the properties executionResult, status and previousStatus.

ExampleDescription
org/apache/felix/health/tag/mytag/STATUS_CHANGEDStatus for tag mytag has changed compared to last execution
org/apache/felix/health/tag/My_HC_Name/UPDATED (spaces in names are replaced with underscores to ensure valid topic names)Status for name My HC Name has not changed but HC was executed and execution result is available in event property executionResult.
org/apache/felix/health/component/com/myprj/MyHealthCheck/UPDATED (. are replaced with slashes to produce valid topic names)HC based on SCR component com.myprj.MyHealthCheck was executed without having the status changed. The SCR component event is sent in addition to the name event

Event listener example:

@Component(property = { EventConstants.EVENT_TOPIC + "=org/apache/felix/health/*"})
public class HealthEventHandler implements EventHandler {
    private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HealthEventHandler.class);

    public void handleEvent(Event event) {
        LOG.info("Received event: "+event.getTopic());
        LOG.info("    previousStatus:  "+event.getProperty("previousStatus"));
        LOG.info("    status:  "+event.getProperty("status"));
        HealthCheckExecutionResult executionResult = (HealthCheckExecutionResult) event.getProperty("executionResult");
        LOG.info("    executionResult:  "+executionResult);
        LOG.info("    result:  "+executionResult.getHealthCheckResult());
    }
}

Servlet Filters

Service Unavailable Filter

For health states of the system that mean that requests can only fail it is possible to configure a Service Unavailable Filter that will cut off all requests if certain tags are in a CRITICAL or TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE status. Typical usecases are startup/shutdown and deployments. Other scenarios include maintenance processes that require request processing of certain servlets to be stalled (the filter can be configured to be active on arbitrary paths). It is possible to configure a custom response text/html.

Configure the factory configuration with PID org.apache.felix.hc.core.impl.filter.ServiceUnavailableFilter with specific parameters to activate the Service Unavailable Filter:

NameDefault/RequiredDescription
osgi.http.whiteboard.filter.regexrequiredRegex path on where the filter is active, e.g. (?!/system/).* or .*. See Http Whiteboard documentation [1] and hint [2]
osgi.http.whiteboard.context.selectrequiredOSGi service filter for selecting relevant contexts, e.g. (osgi.http.whiteboard.context.name=*) selects all contexts. See Http Whiteboard documentation [1] and hint [2]
tagsrequiredList of tags to query the status in order to decide if it is 503 or not
statusFor503 default TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLEFirst status that causes a 503 response. The default TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE will not send 503 for OK and WARN but for TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE, CRITICAL and HEALTH_CHECK_ERROR
includeExecutionResult falseWill include the execution result in the response (as html comment for html case, otherwise as text).
responseTextFor503 requiredResponse text for 503 responses. Value can be either the content directly (e.g. just the string Service Unavailable) or in the format classpath:<symbolic-bundle-id>:/path/to/file.html (it uses Bundle.getEntry() to retrieve the file). The response content type is auto-detected to either text/html or text/plain.
autoDisableFilter default falseIf true, will automatically disable the filter once the filter continued the filter chain without 503 for the first time. The filter will be automatically enabled again if the start level of the framework changes (hence on shutdown it will be active again). Useful for server startup scenarios.
avoid404DuringStartupdefault falseIf true, will automatically register a dummy servlet to ensure this filter becomes effective (complex applications might have the http whiteboard active but no servlets be active during early phases of startup, a filter only ever becomes active if there is a servlet registered). Useful for server startup scenarios.
service.rankingdefault Integer.MAX_VALUE (first in filter chain)The service.ranking for the filter as respected by http whiteboard [1].

[1] https://felix.apache.org/documentation/subprojects/apache-felix-http-service.html#filter-service-properties

[2] Choose a combination of osgi.http.whiteboard.filter.regex/ osgi.http.whiteboard.context.select wisely, e.g. osgi.http.whiteboard.context.select=(osgi.http.whiteboard.context.name=*) and osgi.http.whiteboard.filter.regex=.* would also cut off all admin paths.

Adding ad hoc results during request processing

For certain scenarios it is useful to add a health check dynamically for a specific tag durign request processing, e.g. it can be useful during deployment requests (the tag(s) being added can be queried by e.g. load balancer or Service Unavailable Filter.

To achieve this configure the factory configuration with PID org.apache.felix.hc.core.impl.filter.AdhocResultDuringRequestProcessingFilter with specific parameters:

NameDefault/RequiredDescription
osgi.http.whiteboard.filter.regexrequiredRegex path on where the filter is active, e.g. (?!/system/).* or .*. See Http Whiteboard documentation
osgi.http.whiteboard.context.selectrequiredOSGi service filter for selecting relevant contexts, e.g. (osgi.http.whiteboard.context.name=*) selects all contexts. See Http Whiteboard
service.rankingdefault 0The service.ranking for the filter as respected by http whiteboard [1].
methoddefault restriction not activeRelevant request method (leave empty to not restrict to a method)
userAgentRegExdefault restriction not activeRelevant user agent header (leave emtpy to not restrict to a user agent)
hcNamerequiredName of health check during request processing

delayProcessingInSecdefault 0 (not active)Time to delay processing of request in sec (the default 0 turns the delay off). Use together with ‘tagsDuringDelayedProcessing’ advertise request processing before actual action (e.g. to signal a deployment request to a periodically querying load balancer before deployment starts)
tagsDuringDelayedProcessingdefault 0 (not active)List of tags the adhoc result is be registered also during waiting for the configured delay
