I personally not a big fan of active health checks, and rather think that checking actual upstream responses is much better and cleaner way to monitor upstream servers health. And actual implementations I've seen so far, including the one available in NGINX Plus, are quite far from reaching the code quality and usability I would expect in [free]nginx. Still, it is understood that in some use cases active checks can be useful. I'll take a closer look to see how things can be improved here. -- Maxim Dounin http://mdounin.ru/ -- nginx mailing list nginx@freenginx.org https://freenginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
