This library includes a very simple ``tornado.web.RequestHandler`` that
returns an applications status information. You should install the
handler under the ``/status`` path for a very simple healthcheck that
verifies the operation of the IOLoop (at the very least). This library
is the successor to the `sprockets.handlers.status`_ library. We have
moved away from a deeply nested package structure based on namespace
packages because they are actually more trouble than they are worth.
Simplest Example
================
The simplest example is a JSON payload that contains directly configured
information. The application name and version is passed through the
``URLSpec`` keyword arguments to the status handler.
.. code-block:: python
from tornado import ioloop, web
import sprockets_status.handlers
def make_app(**settings):
return web.Application([
web.url('/status', sprockets_status.handlers.StatusHandler,
{'name': 'my-app-name', 'version': '1.1.1'}),
# add your handlers here
], **settings)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = make_app()
iol = ioloop.IOLoop.current()
try:
app.listen(8888)
iol.start()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
iol.stop()
Running this application and retrieving the ``/status`` resource returns
the following:
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 62
Etag: "e7bca140bba5af0fdb7b9e4fab6487186d7739d2"
Content-Type: application/json
Server: TornadoServer/4.4.2
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:54:47 GMT
{"status": "ok", "version": "1.1.1", "name": "my-app-name"}
Python Packaged Application
===========================
If your application is a python package, then you can let the status
handler do the work of looking up your application's name and version
number from the python package metadata.
.. code-block:: python
from tornado import ioloop, web
import sprockets_status.handlers
def make_app(**settings):
return web.Application([
web.url('/status', sprockets_status.handlers.StatusHandler,
{'package': 'my-app'}),
# add your handlers here
], **settings)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = make_app()
iol = ioloop.IOLoop.current()
try:
app.listen(8888)
iol.start()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
iol.stop()
The status handler will use ``pkg_resources`` to look up the named
distribution and retrieve the package name and version for you. If you
give it a package that doesn't exist, then it will return a server error
so don't do that.
Developer Quickstart
====================
.. code-block:: bash
python3.5 -mvenv --copies env
env/bin/pip install -r requires/development.txt -e .
env/bin/nosetests
env/bin/python setup.py build_sphinx
