Health Checks
Learn how to configure liveness and readiness probes for your App Service in lowcloud.
Last updated: April 3, 2026
Health probes are HTTP endpoints that Kubernetes uses to monitor the state of your container. lowcloud supports two probe types:
- Liveness Probe — Checks if the container is still running. If the endpoint fails, the container is automatically restarted.
- Readiness Probe — Checks if the container is ready for traffic. If the endpoint fails, the container is removed from load balancing until it becomes healthy again.
Configuration
Both probes can be enabled and configured independently.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Path | The HTTP endpoint to check (e.g. /healthz) |
| Initial Delay (s) | Wait time after startup before the first check |
| Period (s) | Interval between checks |
| Timeout (s) | Maximum wait time for a response |
| Failure Threshold | Number of failed checks before Kubernetes takes action |
Changes to health probes take effect on the next deployment.
