[systemd-devel] Health check for a service managed by systemd

[Debraj Manna]

Thanks Reindl for replying.

Can we make use of the watchdog & systemd-notify functionality of systemd?
I mean something like this.

[Unit]
Description=Test service
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=notify
# test.sh wrapper script to call the service
ExecStart=/opt/test/test.sh
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
TimeoutSec=5
WatchdogSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then in test.sh can we do something like

#!/bin/bash
trap 'kill $(jobs -p)' EXIT

# Start the actual service
/opt/test/service &
PID=$!

/bin/systemd-notify --ready
while(true); do
    FAIL=0
    kill -0 $PID
    if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then FAIL=1; fi

#    curl http://localhost/test/
#    if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then FAIL=1; fi

if [[ $FAIL -eq 0 ]]; then /bin/systemd-notify WATCHDOG=1; fi

    sleep 1
done
