Liveness & Readiness

The Unified Flow Collector provides liveness and readiness endpoints for use when deploying within a Kubernetes environment.

Liveness

The /livez endpoint is provided to determine the health status of the collector. This is commonly used to restart a container if the service becomes non-operational. The endpoint will return an HTTP status code of 200 and 500, when the collector is fully operational or when the collector is down respectively.

Readiness

The /readyz endpoint indicates when the collector is ready to receive data.
