This software scans URLs, verifies that given conditions are met, and enables the display of any designated page.
The Apache::HealthCheck module provides a number of features which are useful for web server clusters. For example, it checks a list of URLs for specific return codes and then returns a code or a header or a page of its own. You can use this module to monitor your web services and ensure that they are all functioning correctly.
To use Apache::HealthCheck, you can add a location to your Apache configuration file. Within that location block, you can set the handler to be perl-script and add a PerlModule line for Apache::HealthCheck. You can also set a PerlHandler line to use Apache::HealthCheck for any requests to that location.
In addition, you can specify CheckURL directives to specify a list of URLs that should be checked. These URLs will be checked for specific return codes, and if any of them fails to return the specified code, the attempt is treated as failed. Otherwise, the attempt is treated as a success. You can also set PerlSetVar lines to specify the return codes for success and failure.
Overall, if you are running a web server cluster and need an easy way to check the health of your applications, Apache::HealthCheck is a module you should definitely consider. It's easy to use and provides a lot of useful features that will help you keep your web services running smoothly.
