Medbay

Medbay provides a DRY method of providing web service health checks. Provide a series of lambdas and Medbay will execute and optionally benchmark them, returning the result.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'medbay'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install medbay

Usage

Medbay is a complete Sinatra app ready to be mounted in Rails.

routes.rb

mount Medbay::App, at: '/servicehealth'

Configuration Example

config/initializers/medbay.rb

Medbay.configure do |config|
redis_check = Medbay::Test.new('Redis', lambda {
  passed = false

  begin
    passed = ($redis.ping == "PONG")
  rescue Exception => e
    passed = false
  end

  return passed
})

config.tests = [ redis_check ]
config.benchmark = true # if you want results to include a benchmark
