Kubernetes Native Health Check Platform
Canary checker is a kubernetes-native platform for monitoring health across application and infrastructure using both passive and active (synthetic) mechanisms.
Features
- Batteries Included - 35+ built-in check types
- Kubernetes Native - Health checks (or canaries) are CRD's that reflect health via the
statusfield, making them compatible with GitOps, Flux Health Checks, Argo, Helm, etc.. - Secret Management - Leverage K8S secrets and configmaps for authentication and connection details
- Prometheus - Prometheus compatible metrics are exposed at
/metrics. A Grafana Dashboard is also available. - Dependency Free - Runs an embedded postgres instance by default, can also be configured to use an external database.
- JUnit Export (CI/CD) - Export health check results to JUnit format for integration into CI/CD pipelines
- JUnit Import (k6/newman/puppeter/etc) - Use any container that creates JUnit test results
- Scriptable - Go templates, Javascript and CEL can be used to:
- Evaluate whether a check is passing and severity to use when failing
- Extract a user friendly error message
