Proactive Health Checks

Keep Your Infrastructure Resilient

Reactive monitoring is no longer enough. PlusClouds introduces a fully integrated Health Check system that proactively analyzes server conditions, prevents failures, and ensures your cloud-native infrastructure stays healthy under all conditions.

What are Health Checks
and why they matter

Health checks are periodic probes that verify the operational state of your services. They detect anomalies early—before slowdowns or downtime impact users—making them a foundational pillar of modern, resilient cloud systems.

Health Check Illustration

Service Responsiveness

Ensures your main application and critical microservices are alive, reachable, and responding correctly.

Resource Health

Tracks CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network utilization to spot degrading performance before it surfaces.

Performance & Latency

Monitors response times and latency, ensuring your SLAs remain within acceptable ranges.

Security & Compliance

Regularly checks for vulnerabilities, ensures security policies are enforced, and maintains compliance with industry standards.

How PlusClouds' Health Check System works

An integrated model where health checks become a native part of your orchestration layer—from configuration to remediation.

Define Health Profiles

Specify endpoints, frequency and thresholds.

  • • Multiple probe profiles (liveness, readiness)
  • • Custom HTTP, TCP, gRPC or script probes

Probing & Metrics Collection

System issues probes at configured intervals, collecting latency, status and resource metrics.

Evaluation & Alerting

Results are evaluated against thresholds; repeated failures trigger alerts or remediation.

Status Dashboard & History

Real-time visibility and historical trends for root-cause and capacity planning.

Integration with orchestration & failover

Health results automatically drive restarts, drainage, failover and traffic routing.

Sample use cases & scenarios

Functional and resource checks combined.

Scenario

Web application server

What you check

HTTP /health returns 200

If check fails

Traffic shifted away

Scenario

Database server

What you check

TCP port 5432 + auth check

If check fails

Alert or automated restart

Scenario

Internal microservice

What you check

gRPC latency under threshold

If check fails

Performance issue signalled

Scenario

Resource monitoring

What you check

CPU > 90%, Memory > 85%

If check fails

Benefits of built-in Health Checks

Early detection

Spot issues like memory leaks before users feel them.

Automatic failover

Route traffic only to healthy nodes.

Unified control plane

Manage configs, results and remediations from one place.

Best practices & considerations

Balance frequency

Avoid too-frequent probes.

Use multiple checks

Combine endpoint + resource checks.

Grace thresholds

Require N failures before unhealthy.

Fail-fast logic

Stop cascading failures.

Secure endpoints

Restrict access or require auth.

Bringing it together: Health + Orchestration

Unified orchestration + health = reliable infra.

Automated error response
Restart services automatically.
Traffic balancing
Only healthy nodes receive traffic.
Better scaling
Scale based on real health.
