Management token

To enable and collect health checks and metrics, services must be configured with a “management token”.

Services must have ManagementToken configured. This is used to authorize access monitoring endpoints. If ManagementToken is not configured, monitoring endpoints will return the error 404 disabled.

To access a monitoring endpoint, the requester must provide the HTTP header Authorization: Bearer (ManagementToken).

API server

Set ManagementToken in the appropriate section of application.yml

production:
  # Token to be included in all healthcheck requests. Disabled by default.
  # Server expects request header of the format "Authorization: Bearer xxx"
  ManagementToken: xxx

Node Manager

Set port (the listen port) and ManagementToken in the Manage section of node-manager.ini.

[Manage]
# The management server responds to http://addr:port/status.json with
# a snapshot of internal state.

# Management server listening address (default 127.0.0.1)
#address = 0.0.0.0

# Management server port number (default -1, server is disabled)
#port = 8989

ManagementToken = xxx

Other services
