We need a way to check if the model databases are online.
According to the following page:
https://docs.looker.com/setup-and-management/on-prem-install/monitoring-instance
There are two simple ways to validate that your Looker instance is running.
Append
/alive
to your Looker instance’s URL like this:
https://instance_name.looker.com/alive
If your instance is able to respond to a web request you’ll receive a 200 OK HTTP status code.
Append
/availability
to your Looker instance’s URL like this:
https://instance_name.looker.com/availability
This URL performs a more complete check of several underlying subsystems and will also respond with a 200 OK HTTP status code if all is well.
What does “/availability
” do? Which underlying subsystems does it check?
Does Looker reflect a model database outage in its “/availability
” endpoint?
If models are unable to load due to a DB connection issue, but the looker application is online, is there a way to check the health of all the models?
