[jira] [Commented] (BROOKLYN-82) REST api should have unauthenticated health-check call

["Alex Heneveld (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN-82?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14185278#comment-14185278 ] 

Alex Heneveld commented on BROOKLYN-82:
---------------------------------------

currently if authentication is turned on it is required in all cases (except the simple localhost mode).  i'd like to keep that as it is a simpler security model.

what we could do is a special entitlement for health-check (eg `serverStatusOnly()` similar to `readOnly()` in `Entitlements`), that way there can be one set of credentials nagios could use.

would that be an acceptable resolution?

> The Brooklyn REST api should include a simple call for heartbeat monitoring (e.g. by Nagios). This should not require authentication, and be light-weight so it can be easily integrated into the customer's choice of monitoring tool.
