hospital: healthchecks for Python

hospital makes it easy to setup and use health checks in Python.

Health checks are kind of tests applied to running applications and services:

  • while developing the application, write health checks ;
  • after a deployment, run health checks to make sure everything went fine ;
  • include health checks in supervision/monitoring tools ;
  • in case of incidents, use health checks to diagnose problems.

Example

from hospital import HealthCheck

class DatabaseHealthCheck(HealthCheck):
    def test_open_connection(self):
        """Can open connection to database."""

    def test_ping_host(self):
        """Can ping database host."""

    def test_driver(self):
        """Database's client library for Python can be imported."""

    def diagnose_database_connection(self):
        """Can connect to database."""
        self.assertAny(self.test_open_connection,
                    self.test_ping_host,
                    self.test_driver)

    def fix_database_driver(self):
        """Trigger installation of database library."""
        my_provisioner.install(database_library, confirm=True)
