Setting Up Health monitor for APIGEE X proxy

[priyanka212]

Hi 

There are few posts that mention a way to setup health monitor on target server. I understand how to add the element within the proxy code. But unable to find out the results. For eg. If I have setup the interval of 5 sec for HTTP Monitor. How do I verify that the polling is happening every 5 sec & what are the results. I do not see it getting printed in cloud logging by default. Do I need to setup any logging for this to be printed. Or is there any other way to access the report of health check. Please suggest.

AFAIK, there is no way to log the polling events from Apigee X in Cloud Logging. I don't believe Apigee X is instrumented to log a message with every health monitoring ping.  It seems a reasonable feature request, that Apigee  ought to provide some visibility into the status of the health checks. Like a log message that says "reporting healthy" or "reporting unhealthy" every once in a while. Maybe  every 30 seconds.  Probably not every ping.  @madhurranjan maybe you have a view.  or @gsjurseth ?

I think the best way, currently, to get logging, is to log from the "other side" - the endpoint that is being monitored.
