I have implemented spring actuator health endpoints and added this in the Livelines probe - http-get http://:8080/actuator/health
when i describe the pod I don't see the #success counter is increasing
http-get http://:8080/actuator/health delay=60s timeout=20s period=10s #success=1 #failure=3
How to know if the liveliness probe is actually running with the default actuator's health endpoint
The value of success here is successThreshold. It is not a counter field
kubectl explain pod.spec.containers.livenessProbe.successThreshold
DESCRIPTION:
Minimum consecutive successes for the probe to be considered successful
after having failed. Defaults to 1. Must be 1 for liveness. Minimum value
is 1.similarly there is a failure threshold
kubectl explain pod.spec.containers.livenessProbe.failureThreshold
When a Pod starts and the probe fails, Kubernetes will try failureThreshold times before giving up. Giving up in case of liveness probe means restarting the container. In case of readiness probe the Pod will be marked Unready. Defaults to 3. Minimum value is 1.configure-probes
How to know if the liveliness probe is actually running with the default actuator's health endpoint
check the logs of your pod
kubectl logs -f $pod
or check the log of kubelet, which is probing the pod
journalctl -f -u kubelet
