health checks

[AntonyKing7D]

Hi,

Looking at the code, does this imply that /healthz will always return 'ok' so long as the application is running?

        s.router.Get(healthzPath, func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
                render.PlainText(w, r, "ok")
        })

Would it be plausible to check the database and backend connections as part of this check ?

Hi,

to get a more complete server status there is a different API:

https://sftpgo.stoplight.io/docs/sftpgo/b3A6Mjc0MjY3NA-get-status

and to get active connections there is another API:

https://sftpgo.stoplight.io/docs/sftpgo/b3A6NzUwODM4MA-get-connections-details

Database availability, client connections and other details are also available as prometheus metrics if you enable the telemetry server

Thanks, that's really helpful.
