Hi, Current Healthcheck middleware provides the functionality of monitoring Servers such as Proxy Server, Object Server, Container Server, Container Server and Account Server. The middleware checks whether each Servers can handle request/response. My idea to enhance this middleware is checking daemons such replications, updaters and auditors existence in addition to current one. If we realize this, the scope of Health would be extended from "a Server can handle request" to "a Server and daemons can work appropriately". http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/icehouse/middleware.html?highlight=health#healthcheck What do you think?
