Health Evaluation

All checks expose a health stats of passing (Green) or failing (Red). For example the HTTP check fails if the status is 200 >= code < 299 these default behaviors can be changed using the test field:

In the example below the http check fails if the HTTP response header contains an 'Authorization' field.

apiVersion: canaries.flanksource.com/v1
kind: Canary
metadata:
name: http-no-auth
spec:
http:
- name: http-no-auth
url: https://httpbin.flanksource.com/headers
test:
expr: "! ('Authorization' in json.headers.keys())"
Boolean

test expressions must return a bool or boolean type string ('true' or 'false')

See Cel Expressions for a function reference

Javascript and Go Templating

While test fields do support Javascript and Go Templates, they are not recommended for health evaluations due to their verbosity and performance.

Variables​

Each check exposes different variables to use in the display expression, See the Result Variables section for each check.
