Hi Community
We are trying to deploy Kong in Hybrid mode (Control Plane & Data Plane setup).
As a part of high availability setup we are setting up multiple Data Planes in different regions. As a part of failover we need to have a health endpoint on Data plane, does kong have any health check endpoint on Data Plane that can be continuously polled to check data plane healthiness ?
Thanks @JohnWilliams for the quick reply.
I can see the endpoints in this documentation are either part of Admin API which itself is part of Control Plane or Status API on Data Plane which exposes /metrics & /status endpoints which is not helpful for checking the healthiness of the Data Plane since we need something which just replies with 200 status code with minimal response body.
@Aman_Thakur - Internally even the readiness probe uses this endpoint to see if the data plane is ready to take traffic. Its a simple response with 200.
