Overview

This node performs an observability check operation, useful for monitoring and verifying the status or health of systems or services. It supports batching of requests to manage load and throttling, and allows configuration of request options such as SSL certificate validation, proxy usage, and request timeout. Practical applications include automated health checks, monitoring service availability, and integrating observability data into workflows.

Use Case Examples

1. Performing periodic health checks on a web service to ensure uptime.
2. Batching multiple observability requests to avoid overwhelming the target system.
3. Using a proxy to route observability requests through a specific network path.

Properties

Output

JSON

• status - The status or result of the observability check.
• responseData - Data returned from the observability check request.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential or authentication token to access the observability service endpoint.

Troubleshooting

• If requests fail due to SSL errors, enable 'Ignore SSL Issues' to bypass certificate validation (not recommended for production).
• Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow to respond; increase the 'Timeout' setting as needed.
• Batching settings may cause delays or partial processing if batch size or interval is misconfigured.
