4545## Health Checks
46- River UI exposes two types of health checks:
47- 1 . ` minimal ` : Will succeed if the server can return a response regardless of the database connection.
48- 2 . ` complete ` : Will succeed if the database connection is working.
49-
50- For production deployments, it is recommended to use the ` complete ` health check.
51-
52- ### How to use
53- #### HTTP Endpoint
54- Useful when running on Kubernetes or behind load balancer that can hit the HTTP endpoint.
55-
56- The URL would be ` {prefix}/api/health-checks/{name} `
57-
58- - ` {prefix} ` is the path prefix set in the environment variable ` PATH_PREFIX ` or ` -prefix ` flag
59- - ` {name} ` is the health check name. Can be ` minimal ` or ` complete ` .}`
60-
61- ** Example:** When setting ` PATH_PREFIX=/my-prefix ` and wanting to include the database connection in the health check the path would be
62- ` /my-prefix/api/health-checks/complete `
63-
64- #### CLI Flag
65- Useful when running under something like AWS ECS where it cannot query the HTTP endpoint natively.
66-
67- The CLI flag will query the HTTP endpoint internally and return the result.
68-
69- This keeps the image small since we don't rely on an http client like ` curl `
70-
71- ** Example:** When using a prefix like ` /my-prefix ` and wanting to include the database connection in the health check the command would be
72- ` riverui -prefix=/my-prefix -healthcheck=complete `
73-
74- When setting this command in ECS tasks for healtechecks it would something like this:
75- ``` json
76- {
77- "containerDefinitions" : [
78- {
79- "name" : " riverui" ,
80- "image" : " ghcr.io/riverqueue/riverui:latest" ,
81- "essential" : true ,
82- "healthCheck" : {
83- "command" : [
84- " CMD" ,
85- " /bin/riverui" ,
86- " -prefix=/my-prefix" ,
87- " -healthcheck=complete"
88- ]
89- }
90- }
91- ]
92- }
93- ```

2+ River UI exposes two types of health checks:
3+ 1 . ` minimal ` : Will succeed if the server can return a response regardless of the database connection.
4+ 2 . ` complete ` : Will succeed if the database connection is working.
5+
6+ For production deployments, it is recommended to use the ` complete ` health check.
7+
8+ ## How to use
9+ ### HTTP Endpoint
10+ Useful when running on Kubernetes or behind load balancer that can hit the HTTP endpoint.
11+
12+ The URL would be ` {prefix}/api/health-checks/{name} `
13+
14+ - ` {prefix} ` is the path prefix set in the environment variable ` PATH_PREFIX ` or ` -prefix ` flag
15+ - ` {name} ` is the health check name. Can be ` minimal ` or ` complete ` .
16+
17+ ** Example:** When setting ` PATH_PREFIX=/my-prefix ` and wanting to include the database connection in the health check the path would be
18+ ``` text
19+ /my-prefix/api/health-checks/complete
20+ ```
21+
22+ ### CLI Flag
23+ The riverui binary provides ` -healthcheck=<minimal|complete> ` flag. This flag allows the binary to perform a health check as a command.
24+
25+ This useful when the container orchestrator cannot hit the health check endpoint natively. Like in AWS ECS Tasks or Docker Compose file.
26+
27+ The CLI flag will query the HTTP endpoint internally and exit based on the response.
28+
29+ This keeps the container image small without having to install additional dependencies.
30+
31+ ** Example:** When using a prefix like ` /my-prefix ` and wanting to include the database connection in the health check the command would be
32+ ``` text
33+ /bin/riverui -prefix=/my-prefix -healthcheck=complete
34+ ```
35+
36+ When setting this command in ECS tasks for healtechecks it would something like this:
37+ ``` json
38+ {
39+ "containerDefinitions" : [
40+ {
41+ "name" : " riverui" ,
42+ "image" : " ghcr.io/riverqueue/riverui:latest" ,
43+ "essential" : true ,
44+ "healthCheck" : {
45+ "command" : [
46+ " CMD" ,
47+ " /bin/riverui" ,
48+ " -prefix=/my-prefix" ,
49+ " -healthcheck=complete"
50+ ]
51+ }
52+ }
53+ ]
54+ }
55+ ```
You can’t perform that action at this time.
