#1102 - OCI Health Check for OIC

Introduction 

This is a follow up on a previous post I wrote on this subject. I realised that post was somewhat incomplete, so I hope I've filled the gap.   

My health check will be configured to do a GET on an HTTP endpoint.

I will do a GET - on the following metadata url - 

https://myOICInstance/ic/api/integration/v1/flows/rest/AA_ECHOCLIENTIP/1.0/metadata/

I create the health check as follows - 

I enter my OIC instance base url as the target - e.g. myOIC.integration.us-phoenix-1.ocp.oraclecloud.com

Then I press enter to add this to the list. 

I specify the vantage point - 

Request type = HTTP

Wait a minute and then click on Health Check History - 

Click on Monitoring - 

Drill into the HTTP(S) Response Status Code -

I now stop the OIC instance - 

Summa Summarum

This is a great feature, naturally, with the caveat, that the integration needs to be activated. 

Note also, one does not need to specify OAuth creds etc. for this HTTP request.

Also, consider creating an alarm based on this; simply go to Service Metrics -

The above screenshot shows - HTTP(s) Response Status Code.

Here I create the alarm, based on the query - 

I stop my OIC instance again, see the alarm is in "firing" state and also check my email.

Cool!
