Plugins for Health Monitoring Tool

Adding New Plugins to Health Monitoring

You can add new plugins that add additional checks that might affect the application’s health. For example, you can create a plugin that interacts with an external integration, such as an ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) or payment gateway.

1. Create a new class in ext-core that extends AbstractStatusCheckerTarget. Your class must implement the check method, which should return a Status object.
2. Open the ep-monitoring.xml file at src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring/monitoring for the webapp module that you want to modify.
3. Add beans for each of the new StatusCheckerTarget classes to this file.
4. Add a reference to the bean in either the readinessCheckerTargetList or livenessCheckerTargetList in this file, depending on whether this should be a readiness or liveness check, respectively.
