Component body

Simple end point for load balancers(or Pingdom, new relic..) to check the health of your Drupal site.

The module provides /health endpoint which is never cached and returns only timestamp as a body with HTTP status code 200. If Drupal fails to bootstrap, it returns an error code instead and your load balancer knows there is something wrong with the particular instance and can drop it from load balancing.

This module was developed initially to allow Amazon AWS Elastic Load Balancing to check health of application instances. See more here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/elb-getti...
