Description

There is a default health check controller available since rails 7.1 (PR).

Newly generated rails apps automatically expose this at the /up route (routes.rb.tt). Add this to redmine routes.rb as well.

Exposing a dedicated health check route makes deployments in containers and behind load balancers more robust and simplifies service monitoring.

Lorenz Breu is there some way to silence the logs?

I tried mounting

# app/controllers/rails/health_controller.rb
module Rails
  class HealthController < ActionController::Base
    def show
      puts "Custom HealthController is being used!" # Debug statement
      head :ok
    end

    # Silence logging for this action
    def log_process_action(payload)
      # Do nothing to prevent logging
    end
  end
end

and although I see the debug statement in the logs, the logs still show.

Then I tried disabling all logs

# app/controllers/rails/health_controller.rb
module Rails
  class HealthController < ActionController::Base
    def show
      # Silence all logs for this action
      Rails.logger.silence do
        head :ok
      end
    end
  end
end

but the logs still show.
