orchestrator_test_dropwizard

This is a bare DropWizard REST API; the rest is up to you.

Verifying Application Status

This service exposes, via admin port 8888, a /healthcheck resource, which accepts only a GET request. A response code of HTTP 200 OK indicates a healthy service; anything else should be considered unhealthy.

Also exposed, via admin port, is a similar /readycheck resource. This is a "deeper" health check, which also reports on the status of required external services. Where all external services are reachable, the response code is HTTP 200 OK. Otherwise, it is HTTP 503 SERVICE UNAVAILABLE. Included is a JSON response body:

{
    "ready": true,
    "dependencies": {
         "SomeApi": true,
         "otherApi": true
    }
}

Building and Testing

For various reasons, logentries-parent requires at least one commit before building is possible:

git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "Initial commit"

The project can then be fully built, including testing, by running mvn clean verify.
