Health Checks

Bento serves two HTTP endpoints for health checks:

• /ping can be used as a liveness probe as it always returns a 200.
• /ready can be used as a readiness probe as it serves a 200 only when both the input and output are connected, otherwise, a 503 is returned.

Metrics

Bento exposes lots of metrics either to Statsd, Prometheus, Cloudwatch, or for debugging purposes, an HTTP endpoint that returns a JSON-formatted object.

The target destination of Bento metrics is configurable from the metrics section, where it's also possible to rename and restrict the metrics that are emitted with mappings.
