Health Monitor Package

Route health monitoring with configurable check intervals, retry policies, and notification integration.

Overview

Purpose

This package provides health monitoring for different route types in GoDoxy:

• Monitors service health via configurable check functions
• Tracks consecutive failures with configurable thresholds
• Sends notifications on status changes
• Provides last-seen tracking for idle detection

Primary Consumers

• internal/route/ - Route health monitoring
• internal/api/v1/metrics/ - Uptime poller integration
• WebUI - Health status display

Non-goals

• Health check execution itself (delegated to internal/health/check/)
• Alert routing (handled by internal/notif/)
• Automatic remediation

Stability

Internal package with stable public interfaces. HealthMonitor interface is stable.

Public API

Monitor Creation (new.go)

// Create monitor for agent-proxied routes
func NewAgentProxiedMonitor(
    ctx context.Context,
    cfg types.HealthCheckConfig,
    url *url.URL,
) (HealthMonitor, error)

// Create monitor for Docker containers
func NewDockerHealthMonitor(
    ctx context.Context,
    cfg types.HealthCheckConfig,
    url *url.URL,
    containerID string,
) (HealthMonitor, error)

// Create monitor for HTTP routes
func NewHTTPMonitor(
    ctx context.Context,
    cfg types.HealthCheckConfig,
    url *url.URL,
) HealthMonitor

// Create monitor for H2C (HTTP/2 cleartext) routes
func NewH2CMonitor(
    ctx context.Context,
    cfg types.HealthCheckConfig,
    url *url.URL,
) HealthMonitor

// Create monitor for file server routes
func NewFileServerMonitor(
    cfg types.HealthCheckConfig,
    url *url.URL,
) HealthMonitor

// Create monitor for stream routes
func NewStreamMonitor(
    cfg types.HealthCheckConfig,
    url *url.URL,
) HealthMonitor

// Unified monitor factory (routes to appropriate type)
func NewMonitor(
    ctx context.Context,
    cfg types.HealthCheckConfig,
    url *url.URL,
) (HealthMonitor, error)

Configuration Surface

HealthCheckConfig

type HealthCheckConfig struct {
    Interval    time.Duration // Check interval (default: 30s)
    Timeout     time.Duration // Check timeout (default: 10s)
    Path        string        // Health check path
    Method      string        // HTTP method (GET/HEAD)
    Retries     int           // Consecutive failures before notification (-1 for immediate)
    BaseContext func() context.Context
}

Defaults

Field	Default
Interval	30s
Timeout	10s
Method	GET
Path	"/"
Retries	3

Applying Defaults

cfg.ApplyDefaults(state.Value().Defaults.HealthCheck)

Dependency and Integration Map

Internal Dependencies

• internal/task/task.go - Lifetime management
• internal/notif/ - Status change notifications
• internal/health/check/ - Health check implementations
• internal/types/ - Health status types
• internal/config/types/ - Working state

External Dependencies

• github.com/puzpuzpuz/xsync/v4 - Atomic values

Observability

Logs

Level	When
Info	Service comes up
Warn	Service goes down
Error	Health check error
Error	Monitor stopped after 5 trials

Notifications

• Service up notification (with latency)
• Service down notification (with last seen time)
• Immediate notification when Retries < 0

Metrics

• Consecutive failure count
• Last check latency
• Monitor uptime

Failure Modes and Recovery

Failure Mode	Impact	Recovery
5 consecutive check errors	Monitor enters Error state, task stops	Manual restart required
Health check function panic	Monitor crashes	Automatic cleanup
Context cancellation	Monitor stops gracefully	Stopped state
URL update to invalid	Check will fail	Manual URL fix

Status Transitions

From	To	Condition
Starting	Healthy	Check passes
Starting	Unhealthy	Check fails
Healthy	Unhealthy	Retries consecutive failures
Healthy	Error	Check returns error
Unhealthy	Healthy	Check passes
Error	Healthy	Check passes

Usage Examples

Creating an HTTP Monitor

cfg := types.HealthCheckConfig{
    Interval: 15 * time.Second,
    Timeout: 5 * time.Second,
    Path:    "/health",
    Retries: 3,
}
url, _ := url.Parse("http://localhost:8080")

monitor := monitor.NewHTTPMonitor(context.Background(), cfg, url)
if err := monitor.Start(parent); err != nil {
    return err
}

// Check status
fmt.Printf("Status: %s\n", monitor.Status())
fmt.Printf("Latency: %v\n", monitor.Latency())

Creating a Docker Monitor

monitor, err := monitor.NewDockerHealthMonitor(
    context.Background(),
    cfg,
    url,
    containerID,
)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
monitor.Start(parent)

Unified Factory

monitor, err := monitor.NewMonitor(ctx, cfg, url)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
monitor.Start(parent)
