With health monitoring, we monitor the health of a system and its various components at a certain frequency, typically a few seconds. This ensures that the system and its components behave as expected. With the help of an exhaustive health monitoring system, we can keep tabs on the overall system health, which has data points, such as CPU, memory utilization, and so on. It might be in the form of pings or extensive health monitoring endpoints, which emit the health status of services along with some useful metadata at that point in time.
For health monitoring, we can use the rate of request failures and successes; we can also utilize techniques such as synthetic user monitoring. We will see synthetic user monitoring a little ...
