OpsWorks Autohealing

Various Elastigroup integrations offer autohealing of instances using health-check capabilities.

OpsWorks Health Check is based on the following parameters:

• OpsWorks Instance Status
• Layer Membership Verification (if an instance is a part of the OpsWorks 'layer' or not)

Based on these parameters, the Health Check status is evaluated and can return one of the following:

• Healthy: The Instance a part of the OpsWorks integrated layer.
• Unknown: The instance's unknown health status might be a result of the following:
  • The instance OpsWorks status is in one of the following states:
    • booting
    • pending
    • running_setup
    • stopping
    • terminating
    • rebooting
  • The instance is not a part of the OpsWorks layer, and its grace period has not yet passed.
• Unhealthy: The unhealthy status might be a result of one of the following situations:
  • The instance is not a part of the OpsWorks layer that was defined in the integration
  • The instance is in one of the following OpsWorks status modes:
    • stop_failed
    • start_failed
    • setup_failed
    • connection_lost

When Elastigroup detects an instance as unhealthy, and auto-healing is configured, it will replace them automatically.
