[aerogear-dev] Status code for /health endpoint ?

Hi, we have a /health endpoint: https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/blob/master/jaxrs... that gives indication if the DB and the supported push-networks are reachable. If all goes well, it returns '200' and a response like: {"status":"ok","details":[{"description":"Database connection","result":"connected","runtime":191,"test_status":"ok"},{"description":"Google Cloud Messaging","result":"online","runtime":143,"test_status":"ok"},{"description":"Apple Push Network Sandbox","result":"online","runtime":260,"test_status":"ok"},{"description":"Apple Push Network Production","result":"online","runtime":263,"test_status":"ok"},{"description":"Windows Push Network","result":"online","runtime":351,"test_status":"ok"}],"summary":"Everything is ok"} If something, like DB, is not reachable, it also returns '200', and describes the problems in the JSON response: {"status":"crit","details":[{"description":"Database connection","result":"org.hibernate.exception.JDBCConnectionException: could not extract ResultSet","runtime":26,"test_status":"crit"},{"description":"Google Cloud Messaging","result":"online","runtime":14,"test_status":"ok"},{"description":"Apple Push Network Sandbox","result":"online","runtime":32,"test_status":"ok"},{"description":"Apple Push Network Production","result":"online","runtime":211,"test_status":"ok"},{"description":"Windows Push Network","result":"online","runtime":149,"test_status":"ok"}],"summary":"There is 1 error found"} Questions: * do we continue to return '200' in the later case? * Or should we give a 500 if there is at least one problem ? Please report your desire :-) -Matthias -- Matthias Wessendorf blog: http://matthiaswessendorf.wordpress.com/ twitter: http://twitter.com/mwessendorf
