# AWS CDK Route53 HealthCheck
Create Route53 HealthChecks to monitor TCP, HTTP, HTTPS endpoints, to monitor CloudWatch Alarms and to monitor other Route53 HealthChecks.
Currently supported types of Route53 HealthChecks:
- [Health checks that monitor an endpoint](https://github.com/pepperize/cdk-route53-health-check#healthcheck-for-an-endpoint)
- [Health checks that monitor other health checks](https://github.com/pepperize/cdk-route53-health-check#healthcheck-to-monitor-cloudwatch-alarms)
- [Health checks that monitor CloudWatch alarms](https://github.com/pepperize/cdk-route53-health-check#healthcheck-to-monitor-other-healthchecks)
- [Configure DNS failover](https://github.com/pepperize/cdk-route53-health-check#configuring-dns-failover)
Easily create a CloudWatch Alarm based on the Route53 HealthCheck:
```typescript
const healthCheck = new EndpointHealthCheck(scope, "HealthCheck", {
domainName: "pepperize.com",
});
const alarm = new cloudwatch.Alarm(scope, "Alarm", {
metric: healthCheck.metricHealthCheckStatus(),
comparisonOperator: cloudwatch.ComparisonOperator.LESS_THAN_THRESHOLD,
threshold: 1,
evaluationPeriods: 1,
});
```

See [API.md](https://github.com/pepperize/cdk-route53-health-check/blob/main/API.md).
### HealthCheck for an endpoint
**HTTPS health check**
```typescript
new EndpointHealthCheck(scope, "HealthCheck", {
domainName: "pepperize.com",
});
```
Generates
```yaml
Resources:
Type: AWS::Route53::HealthCheck
Properties:
HealthCheckConfig:
FullyQualifiedDomainName: "pepperize.com"
Port: 443
Type: "HTTPS"
EnableSNI: true
```
**Additional configuration options**
```typescript
new EndpointHealthCheck(scope, "HealthCheck", {
domainName: "pepperize.com", // The domain name that Route53 performs health checks on. Route53 resolves the IP address and performs the lookup.
enableSni: true, // Specify that Route53 sends the host name for TLS negotiation.
failureThreshold: 3, // The number of consecutive health checks that an endpoint must pass or fail for Route53 to change the current status of the endpoint between healthy and unhealthy.
healthCheckName: "pepperize.com", // The display name of this Route53 HealthCheck.
inverted: false, // Whether to invert the status of the Route53 health check status.
ipAddress: "1.1.1.1", // The ip address that Route53 performs health checks on. Optionally a domain name may be given.
latencyGraphs: true, // Whether Route53 measures the latency between health checkers in multiple AWS regions and your endpoint, and displays a CloudWatch latency graphs in the Route53 console.
port: 443, // The port that Route53 performs health checks.
protocol: Protocol.HTTPS, // The protocol that Route53 uses to communicate with the endpoint.
regions: [HealthCheckerRegions.EU_WEST_1, HealthCheckerRegions.US_EAST_1, HealthCheckerRegions.US_WEST_1], // The list of regions from which Route53 health checkers check the endpoint.
requestInterval: 30, // The number of seconds between the time that Route53 gets a response from your endpoint and the time that it sends the next health check request.
resourcePath: "/health-check", // The path for HTTP or HTTPS health checks.
searchString: "OK", // The search string for HTTP or HTTPS health checks.
});
```

### HealthCheck to monitor other HealthChecks
```typescript
const healthCheck1 = new EndpointHealthCheck(stack, "HealthCheck1", {
domainName: "pepperize.com",
});
const healthCheck2 = EndpointHealthCheck.fromHealthCheckId(
scope,
"HealthCheck2",
"9ebee2db-6292-4803-9838-327e6example"
);
new CalculatedHealthCheck(scope, "CalculatedHealthCheck", {
childHealthChecks: [healthCheck1, healthCheck2],
});
```

### HealthCheck to monitor CloudWatch Alarms
```typescript
const alarm = cloudwatch.Alarm.fromAlarmArn(
scope,
"Alarm",
"arn:aws:cloudwatch:us-east-1:123456789012:alarm:any-alarm"
);
new AlarmHealthCheck(scope, "HealthCheck", {
alarm: alarm,
});
```

### Configuring DNS Failover
An example active-passive DNS failover configuration
**Primary**
```typescript
// An alias record set for a CloudFront distribution
const recordSetPrimary = new route53.ARecord(scope, "RecordSetPrimary", {
recordName: "www.pepperize.com",
zone: hostedZone,
target: route53.RecordTarget.fromAlias(new targets.CloudFrontTarget(distribution)),
});
// The health check for the CloudFront distribution
const healthCheckPrimary = new EndpointHealthCheck(scope, "HealthCheckPrimary", {
domainName: "www.pepperize.com",
});
// Configure the HealthCheckId and Failover on the record set
healthCheckPrimary.failoverPrimary(recordSetPrimary);
```
**Secondary**
```typescript
// An alias record set for an Application Load Balancer
const recordSetSecondary = new route53.ARecord(scope, "RecordSetSecondary", {
recordName: "www-1.pepperize.com",
zone: hostedZone,
target: route53.RecordTarget.fromAlias(new targets.LoadBalancerTarget(alb)),
});
// The health check for the Application Load Balancer
const healthCheckSecondary = new EndpointHealthCheck(scope, "HealthCheckSecondary", {
domainName: "www-1.pepperize.com",
});
// Configure the HealthCheckId and Failover on the record set
healthCheckSecondary.failoverSecondary(recordSetSecondary, true);
