This project provides a framework to configure and create so called system ready checks and report the ready of an application on top of an OSGi system.
See below for a hands on example in Apache Karaf.
Checks that the system reaches a certain start level. By default this is the default bundle start level + 1. The check reports yellow while starting, green on startup finished and red if startup did not finish after given timeout.
Configuration pid: org.apache.felix.systemready.impl.FrameworkStartCheck
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| target.start.level | Start level for the system to reach to be considered started | |
| timeout | 1000 | After this number of seconds the startup is considered to have failed |
| target_start_level_prop_name | Alternatively the start level can be read from a system property with this name |
Ready check that is shipped in the core bundle and checks for the presence of listed services by interface name or filter. The check reports GREEN when all services are currently present and YELLOW if at least one service is missing.
In the details the check reports all missing services. If a service is backed by a DS component then automatically a root cause analysis is executed. If such a service is missing then unresolved references are shown in a tree with detailed information about each component. At the leafs of the tree the root causes can be found.
Mandatory configuration with pid: org.apache.felix.systemready.impl.ServicesCheck
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| services.list | List<String> of service interfaces or filters to check |
Ready check that is shipped in the core bundle and checks for the presence of listed DS components by name. The check reports GREEN when all components are satisfied. It also provides root cause analysis. The main difference to th Service Check is that the checked component does not need to offer an OSGi service.
Mandatory configuration with pid: org.apache.felix.systemready.impl.ComponentsCheck
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| components.list | List<String> of component names to check |
Implement the org.apache.felix.systemready.core.SystemReadyCheck interface and register your instance as a service. The SystemReadyMonitor will pick up your service automatically.
Your service should avoid references to other services that come up late, as a late appearing check could make the aggregated state oscilate during startup. One option to avoid this is to refer to a late service using an optional dependency and return a YELLOW state until it is up.
The service org.apache.felix.systemready.core.SystemReadyMonitor tracks all SystemReadyCheck services and periodically checks them. It creates an aggregated status and detailed report of the status of the system.
This report can be queried by calling the service. Additionally the system ready servlet can provide this status over http.
For an example see the test case.
The Ready servlet provides the aggregated state of the system over http in json format. It is registered on the path /systemready.
The alive servlet provides the aggregated alive state of the system and is registered by default on /systemalive.
HTTP return codes
| code | in case of |
|---|---|
| 200 | system status is GREEN |
| 503 | system status is YELLOW or RED |
| 404 | servlet is not yet present |
This is an example of a ready system with just the services check.
{
"systemStatus": "GREEN",
"checks": [
{ "check": "Services Check", "status": "GREEN", "details": "" },
]
}
Optional configuration pid for ready servlet org.apache.felix.systemready.impl.servlet.SystemReadyServlet. Optional configuration pid for alive servlet org.apache.felix.systemready.impl.servlet.SystemAliveServlet.
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| osgi.http.whiteboard.servlet.pattern | /systemready | Path for the servlet |
| osgi.http.whiteboard.context.select | OSGi service filter for the whiteboard context |
The default context select filter works for Apache Karaf. When using the servlet in Apache Felix Http Whiteboard or Adobe AEM make sure you set the servlet context select to:
osgi.http.whiteboard.context.select =(osgi.http.whiteboard.context.name=org.osgi.service.http)
Download, install and run Apache Karaf 4.1.x. Inside the karaf shell execute this:
feature:install scr http-whiteboard config:property-set --pid ServicesCheck services.list org.osgi.service.log.LogService config:property-set --pid SystemReadyServlet osgi.http.whiteboard.context.select "(osgi.http.whiteboard.context.name=default)" install -s mvn:org.apache.felix/org.apache.felix.rootcause/0.1.0-SNAPSHOT install -s mvn:org.apache.felix/org.apache.felix.systemready/0.5.0-SNAPSHOT

Check the status of a DS component:
rootcause SystemReadyMonitor Component SystemReadyMonitor statisfied
Try this with some of your own components.
