Describe the enhancement:
When an application/integration is in a
CONFIGURING
status, the overall health of the agent should be in aCONFIGURING
status.Describe a specific use case for the enhancement or feature:
Currently (tested on 7.17.0), if an application is in the
CONFIGURING
status, then the overall status of the Agent isHEALTHY
It would be nice, that instead, the over status of the Agent showed as
CONFIGURING
as well.Use Case
It would be nice to know when the agent is in a "healthy" state but has not fully transitioned to an actual healthy state.
There are a few reasons why an application could be on a
CONFIGURING
status, but one interesting one, is if you are using a standalone agent deployment, depending on how badly you mess up the configuring, an application could get stuck in aCONFIGURING
status because it can't properly load a new configuration. Since the overall agent health doesn't reflect this status, if you are only checking the overall health, you would never notice this issue unless you're looking for it.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
