Note: This will most likely be one of several issues for smoke testing communications between the various components of Cog.
Cog admins need an easy way to smoke test a Cog installation. Previously we were using Docker's healthcheck hook to provide some insight into Cog's status, but that proved to be a bit too broad to be useful. So instead we will provide a simple smoke test script to be installed alongside relay. This should give admins a bit more flexibility and provide a sanity check during installation and/or troubleshooting.
The smoke test script should be easily accessible via docker exec so we should copy it to somewhere in the path when building the image.
Checks
- the host running Cog is accessible
- the services endpoint in accessible
Done Criteria
- write a simple smoke test script
- update Dockerfile to install the script in the path (admins should be able to run the script with something like
docker exec cog_smoke_test - Add usage documentation to Cog book
