setting up health check for azure function

Question

I am trying to setup a health check for my azure function.

I saw from this post https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/143425/app-service-health-check-alert.html, it is mentioning setup a service a health endpoint on /health.

May I know what are the steps required to create health check for azure function and where should I get the 'Path' to check for unhealthy instances?

Hi @Yang Chowmun ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

To create health check, please follow the steps as mentioned in the article - Enable Health Check.
Regarding the 'Path', it could simply be a http trigger function which returns HTTP status code 200. You could also have a dedicated api as the Path which, when invoked, would perform checks to ensure that dependent services are reachable and responding back OR have some logic to ensure that the function is performing as expected.
