Health Check¶
A Health Check is a fundamental mechanism used within monitoring systems to verify the status and operational readiness of a service or component.^[400-devops__07-Monitoring-and-Observability__監控.md]
It functions as one of the core pillars of a Monitoring Model, working alongside Metrics, logs, and Tracing to provide a comprehensive view of system health.^[400-devops__07-Monitoring-and-Observability__監控.md] Unlike logs which record historical events or Metrics which track quantitative data over time, a health check typically provides a binary or simple status indication (e.g., "healthy" or "unhealthy") regarding the immediate availability of a resource.
