Health Endpoint Monitoring Pattern

Your Application

> Performs necessary checks to ensure it can work as expected

> Exposes endpoints to run those checks 

Let them know you're OK

The monitoring agent

> checks the status code

> checks the content of the response as well

> measures response times and compare

> checks other resources outside the application

> runs from different locations

Monitoring your services

> Microsoft Azure Management Services: provides built in features for monitoring applications

> Traffic Manager: routing and load balancing service, distribute requests to specific instances based on rues and settings
