Miek Gieben 558f4bea41 mw/health: poll other middleware (#976)
This add the infrastructure to let other middleware report their health
status back to the health middleware. A health.Healther interface is
introduced and a middleware needs to implement that. A middleware
that supports healthchecks is statically configured.

Every second each supported middleware is queried and the global health
state is updated.

Actual tests have been disabled as no other middleware implements this
at the moment.

health

This module enables a simple health check endpoint. By default it will listen on port 8080.

Syntax

health [ADDRESS]

Optionally takes an address; the default is :8080. The health path is fixed to /health. The health endpoint returns a 200 response code and the word "OK" when CoreDNS is healthy. It returns a 503. health periodically (1s) polls middleware that exports health information. If any of the middleware signals that it is unhealthy, the server will go unhealthy too. Each middleware that supports health checks has a section "Health" in their README.

Examples

Run another health endpoint on http://localhost:8091.

health localhost:8091
