Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-6855:
--------------------------------------------

Thanks [~henzlerg] - I added a sticky config to the async HC in the samples 
bundle, and initially that did not work as the HC results cache was not updated 
for async execution.

http://svn.apache.org/r1798222 fixes that for me, do you agree with this fix? 
Tests didn't detect that issue, if you have an idea for improving them for that 
that's great otherwise I can have a look.

With this fix, installing the {{org.apache.sling.hc.samples}} bundle and 
requesting http://localhost:8080/system/console/healthcheck?tags=async shows 
output like follows:

{code}
Sticky Asynchronous Health Check sample

{code}

The cache keeps one result of each type, by design, I think that's ok, it 
prevents the cache from growing indefinitely and gives useful information as to 
recent non-ok results. The results are not ordered by time which can be a bit 
surprising but is ok IMO.

If we agree on how this feature works we should document it at 
https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/sling-health-check-tool.html

>
> Introduce HC service property {{hc.warningsStickForMinutes}} to allow old 
> WARN/CRITICAL/HEALTH_CHECK_ERROR results to be sticky (see also 
> http://sling.markmail.org/thread/tawikgt7bqxvnlj5#query:+page:1+mid:57hhg55hekr7ib33+state:results)
> --- Original Request ----
> *Create ResultRegistry to provide health check behavior for executing code 
> that does not want a HealthCheck* 
> I want to provide a Registry service that can be leveraged to provide health 
> check results.
> These results can be for a period of time through an expiration, until the 
> JVM is restarted, or added and later removed.
> This can be useful when code observes a specific (possibly bad) state, and 
> wants to alert through the health check API that this state has taken place.
>  Some examples: 
>  An event pool has filled, and some events will be thrown away.
>   This is a failure case that requires a restart of the instance.
>   It would be appropriate to trigger a permanent failure.
>    
>  A quota has been tripped. This quota may immediately recover, but it is 
> sensible to alert for 30 minutes that the quota has been tripped.
>  If you expect the failure will clear itself within a certain window, setting 
> the expiration to that window can be ideal.
> GHPR to follow
