Health Checks

Your users find the outage.
Or we do — 5 minutes earlier.

Most monitoring tools alert you after something breaks. Health Checks detect degradation before it becomes an outage — and automatically route traffic away from the problem.

The Problem

Reactive monitoring costs you customers.

A server that's 90% degraded will still pass a basic "is it up?" ping. Your users will feel it. Health Checks run deeper — HTTP response codes, latency thresholds, CPU/memory, TCP port availability — so you know about the problem first.

How It Works

3 steps from degradation to fix.

1. Define your checks

Set endpoints, probe types (HTTP, TCP, gRPC), frequency, and failure thresholds. Takes 2 minutes to configure.

2. Continuous probing

PlusClouds sends probes at your configured interval — every 10 seconds if you want. Latency, status codes, and resource metrics are all collected.

3. Auto-alert or auto-fix

Consecutive failures trigger an alert. Or connect to orchestration: unhealthy nodes are automatically drained and traffic is rerouted. No manual intervention.

What You Get

Built-in. No extra tools needed.

Catch issues before users do

Latency spikes, memory pressure, degraded endpoints — detected in seconds, not after a support ticket.

Traffic routes around problems

When a node fails checks, it's automatically drained. Healthy nodes absorb the traffic instantly.

No ops team required

Runbooks auto-resolve 80% of incidents. An engineer is paged only when automation can't fix it.

Full history & root cause

Every probe result is stored. When something does fail, you have the full timeline to debug it fast.
