Health monitoring interface for molecule.dev.

Defines MonitoringProvider and SystemHealth interfaces, plus composable factory functions for common health checks (database, cache, HTTP probes, bond registry checks, and custom checks).

Quick Start

import {
  getProvider,
  setProvider,
  runAll,
  createDatabaseCheck,
  createHttpCheck,
} from '@molecule/api-monitoring'
import { provider } from '@molecule/api-monitoring-default'

setProvider(provider)

const monitoring = getProvider()
monitoring.register(createDatabaseCheck())
monitoring.register(
  createHttpCheck('https://api.stripe.com', { name: 'stripe', degradedThresholdMs: 1000 }),
)

const health = await runAll()
console.log(health.status) // 'operational' | 'degraded' | 'down'

Type

Installation

npm install @molecule/api-monitoring @molecule/api-bond @molecule/api-i18n

API

Interfaces

CheckEntry

A named check result with timing metadata, as stored in SystemHealth.

interface CheckEntry extends CheckResult {
  /** Check name, matches HealthCheck.name. */
  name: string
  /** Check category, matches HealthCheck.category. */
  category: string
  /** ISO 8601 timestamp when this check was last executed. */
  checkedAt: string
}

CheckResult

Result returned by a single health check function.

interface CheckResult {
  /** Computed status for this check. */
  status: CheckStatus
  /** Round-trip time in milliseconds, if measured. */
  latencyMs?: number
  /** Human-readable detail message (especially on degraded/down). */
  message?: string
}

HealthCheck

A named, categorised health check.

Registered with a MonitoringProvider via register(). The check() function is called on each runAll() invocation.

interface HealthCheck {
  /** Unique identifier for this check (e.g. 'database', 'stripe'). */
  name: string
  /**
   * Logical category grouping related checks
   * (e.g. 'infrastructure', 'external', 'custom').
   */
  category: string
  /** Async function that performs the check and returns a CheckResult. */
  check(): Promise<CheckResult>
}

HttpCheckOptions

Options for createHttpCheck.

interface HttpCheckOptions {
  /** Check name. Defaults to the URL hostname. */
  name?: string
  /** Check category. Defaults to 'external'. */
  category?: string
  /** Request timeout in milliseconds. Defaults to 5000. */
  timeoutMs?: number
  /** Exact expected HTTP status code. When omitted, any 2xx (200-299) is accepted. */
  expectedStatus?: number
  /** Latency threshold in ms above which status degrades to 'degraded'. */
  degradedThresholdMs?: number
}

MonitoringProvider

Monitoring provider interface. All monitoring providers must implement this.

interface MonitoringProvider {
  /**
   * Registers a health check. Duplicate names replace the previous entry.
   *
   * @param check - The health check to register.
   */
  register(check: HealthCheck): void

  /**
   * Removes a previously registered check by name.
   *
   * @param name - The check name to deregister.
   * @returns true if found and removed, false otherwise.
   */
  deregister(name: string): boolean

  /**
   * Runs all registered checks in parallel, stores results, and returns
   * the aggregated SystemHealth.
   *
   * @returns Resolved SystemHealth snapshot.
   */
  runAll(): Promise<SystemHealth>

  /**
   * Returns the most recently computed SystemHealth snapshot, or null if
   * runAll() has not yet been called.
   */
  getLatest(): SystemHealth | null

  /**
   * Returns all registered check names.
   */
  getRegisteredChecks(): string[]
}

SystemHealth

Aggregated health snapshot for the entire system.

interface SystemHealth {
  /**
   * Overall status — the worst status across all individual checks.
   * 'operational' only when all checks are 'operational'.
   */
  status: CheckStatus
  /** Individual check results keyed by check name. */
  checks: Record<string, CheckEntry>
  /** ISO 8601 timestamp when runAll() completed. */
  timestamp: string
}

Types

CheckStatus

Operational status of a single health check.

• 'operational' — fully functional
• 'degraded' — functioning but below normal (high latency, partial failures)
• 'down' — unavailable

type CheckStatus = 'operational' | 'degraded' | 'down'

Functions

createBondCheck(bondType, name, category)

Creates a health check that verifies a bond is registered.

Purely synchronous registry introspection — no provider methods called.

function createBondCheck(bondType: string, name?: string, category?: string): HealthCheck

• bondType — The bond type string to check (e.g. 'database', 'email').
• name — Check name. Defaults to bond:{bondType}.
• category — Check category. Defaults to 'bonds'.

Returns: A HealthCheck that verifies the bond is registered.

createCacheCheck(name, category)

Creates a health check that probes the cache bond.

Attempts a set/get/delete round-trip on a sentinel key to confirm the cache is operational.

function createCacheCheck(name?: string, category?: string): HealthCheck

• name — Check name. Defaults to 'cache'.
• category — Check category. Defaults to 'infrastructure'.

Returns: A HealthCheck that probes the cache bond.

createCustomCheck(name, fn, category)

Creates a custom health check from a user-provided async function.

function createCustomCheck(
  name: string,
  fn: () => Promise<CheckResult>,
  category?: string,
): HealthCheck

• name — Unique check name.
• fn — Async function returning a CheckResult.
• category — Check category. Defaults to 'custom'.

Returns: A HealthCheck wrapping the user-provided function.

createDatabaseCheck(name, category)

Creates a health check that probes the database bond.

Uses the 'database' bond type via isBonded()/get(). Sends a lightweight query (SELECT 1) to confirm connectivity.

function createDatabaseCheck(name?: string, category?: string): HealthCheck

• name — Check name. Defaults to 'database'.
• category — Check category. Defaults to 'infrastructure'.

Returns: A HealthCheck that probes the database bond.

createHttpCheck(url, options)

Creates a health check that performs an HTTP GET probe against a URL.

Uses the global fetch API (Node 18+). Reports 'degraded' if the response time exceeds degradedThresholdMs, 'down' if the request fails or the response status is unexpected.

function createHttpCheck(url: string, options?: HttpCheckOptions): HealthCheck

• url — The URL to probe.
• options — Optional configuration.

Returns: A HealthCheck that performs an HTTP GET probe.

getLatest()

Returns the most recently computed SystemHealth, or null if runAll() has not been called yet.

function getLatest(): SystemHealth | null

Returns: The most recent SystemHealth snapshot, or null.

getOptionalProvider()

Retrieves the bonded monitoring provider, returning null if none is bonded. Prefer this over getProvider() in optional monitoring code paths.

function getOptionalProvider(): MonitoringProvider | null

Returns: The bonded monitoring provider, or null.

getProvider()

Retrieves the bonded monitoring provider, throwing if none is configured.

function getProvider(): MonitoringProvider

Returns: The bonded monitoring provider.

hasProvider()

Checks whether a monitoring provider is currently bonded.

function hasProvider(): boolean

Returns: true if a monitoring provider is bonded.

runAll()

Runs all registered checks through the bonded monitoring provider.

function runAll(): Promise<SystemHealth>

Returns: Aggregated SystemHealth snapshot.

setProvider(provider)

Registers a monitoring provider as the active singleton. Called by bond packages during application startup.

function setProvider(provider: MonitoringProvider): void

• provider — The monitoring provider implementation to bond.
