Service Health
Guara Cloud continuously monitors the health of your services and displays the status directly in the dashboard. You can quickly identify if something needs attention.
Status indicators
Each service displays a health indicator with three possible states:
| Status | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Healthy | Green | All replicas are ready and receiving traffic normally. |
| Degraded | Yellow | Some replicas are ready, but not all. The service is still running with reduced capacity. |
| Unavailable | Red | No replicas are ready. The service is not serving requests. |
What determines each state
The health status is automatically calculated based on the number of ready replicas compared to the desired total:
- Healthy: all desired replicas are in the “ready” state (able to receive traffic).
- Degraded: at least one replica is ready, but the total count has not been reached. This can happen during a deployment, when a replica is restarting, or when there is a temporary issue.
- Unavailable: no replicas are in the “ready” state. This indicates a more serious problem, such as an application error, incorrect configuration, or lack of resources.
Replica status
In the dashboard, you can see the replica count for your service:
- Ready: number of replicas that are running and receiving traffic.
- Desired: total number of replicas configured for the service.
For example, if you configured 3 replicas and only 2 are ready, the status will be Degraded and you will see the count as 2/3.
Automatic health checks
Guara Cloud runs automatic readiness checks on your services. These checks determine whether a replica is ready to receive traffic.
You do not need to configure anything — health checks are automatically applied to all services deployed on the platform. If your application responds on the configured port, it will be considered ready.
Viewing in the dashboard
To see the health status of your services:
- Go to the dashboard and select your project
- In the service list, each service displays the status indicator next to its name
- Click on a service to see details, including the ready/desired replica count
The status is updated automatically every few seconds, so you always have an up-to-date view of your services’ health.
