Kafka Rest Proxy health check URL
I am looking to monitor my kakfa rest proxy servers and was wondering if there is an endpoint that can be checked to see if the server is running. I am currently checking if endpoint /topics returns a 200. Is that a reasonable endpoint to run the test against. I would prefer to have one that is the least expensive.

Yeah, you definitely want one that's cheaper than /topics. The root
resource / is effectively a nop you can check for liveness of the service
(but not for, e.g., more general health like connectivity to ZK or Kafka).
The most it will ever do is return a list of available subresources, so it
should always be a cheap way to check liveness.
