This project leverages existing the pre-defined Docker Compose configuration file to set up, deploy and run APISIX, etcd, Prometheus, and other services with a single command. First, clone the apisix-prometheus-api-health-check repo on GitHub and open it in your favorite editor, and start the project by simply running docker compose up from the project root folder.
APISIX has a health check mechanism, which proactively checks the health status of the upstream nodes in your system. Also, APISIX integrates with Prometheus through its plugin that exposes upstream nodes (multiple instances of a backend API service that APISIX manages) health check metrics on the Prometheus metrics endpoint typically, on URL path /apisix/prometheus/metrics.
You have now learned how to set up and monitor API health checks with Prometheus and APISIX. APISIX Prometheus plugin is configured to connect Grafana automatically to visualize metrics. Keep exploring the data and customize the Grafana dashboard by adding a panel that shows the number of active health checks.
Install cURL to send requests to the services for validation.
