             Summary: Feature Request to validate if a Airflow Connection Hook from UI
                 Key: AIRFLOW-5564
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-5564
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: celery, webserver, worker
    Affects Versions: 1.10.2
            Reporter: Sampath


Feature Request to validate if a Airflow Connection Hook from UI, just like mysql workbench lets you test is a mysql connection is valid or not before saving.

In a realtime scenario(airflow(master & scheduler) & 2-4 celery worker nodes) for each airflow hook, at each worker node and in each environment we had to this test.

In future as we grow, there will be more connection hooks & this will increase our workload of simple yet repetitive works.

So requesting following
 # *Airflow Connection Hooks* should have an option to validate them. At least for simple hooks like SSH & Mysql.
 # These tests should happen on each (Celery) *Worker* node.

Since airflow uses paramiko, sqlachemy internally(I think) this is problem can be quickly solvable for SSH & Mysql Hooks(starting point). If there any development happening in this area, kindly please point me there & then close this request.
