AspNetCore.Pulse.Azure.Data.Tables 8.0.2

Azure Tables Health Check

This health check verifies the ability to communicate with Azure Tables. It uses the provided TableServiceClient.

Defaults

By default, the TableServiceClient instance is resolved from service provider. AzureTableServiceHealthCheckOptions does not provide any specific container name, so the health check fetches just first container.

void Configure(IHealthChecksBuilder builder)
{
    builder.Services.AddSingleton(sp => new TableServiceClient(new Uri("azure-table-storage-uri"), new DefaultAzureCredential()));
    builder.AddHealthChecks().AddAzureTable();
}

Customization

You can additionally add the following parameters:

• clientFactory: A factory method to provide TableServiceClient instance.
• optionsFactory: A factory method to provide AzureTableServiceHealthCheckOptions instance. It allows to specify the table name.
• name: The health check name. The default is azure_tables.
• failureStatus: The HealthStatus that should be reported when the health check fails. Default is HealthStatus.Unhealthy.
• tags: A list of tags that can be used to filter sets of health checks.
• timeout: A System.TimeSpan representing the timeout of the check.

void Configure(IHealthChecksBuilder builder)
{
    builder.Services.AddSingleton(sp => new TableServiceClient(new Uri("azure-table-storage-uri"), new DefaultAzureCredential()));
    builder.AddHealthChecks().AddAzureTable(
        optionsFactory: sp => new AzureTableServiceHealthCheckOptions()
        {
            TableName = "demo"
        });
}

Breaking changes

In the prior releases, TableServiceHealthCheck was a part of Pulse.CosmosDb package. It had a dependency on not just Azure.Data.Tables, but also Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos. The packages have been split to avoid bringing unnecessary dependencies. Moreover, TableServiceHealthCheck was letting the users specify how TableServiceClient should be created (from raw connection string or from endpoint and managed identity credentials), at a cost of maintaining an internal, static client instances cache. Now the type does not create client instances nor maintain an internal cache and it's the caller responsibility to provide the instance of TableServiceClient (please see #2040 for more details). Since Azure SDK recommends treating clients as singletons <see href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/azure-sdk/lifetime-management-and-thread-safety-guarantees-of-azure-sdk-net-clients/"/> and client instances can be expensive to create, it's recommended to register a singleton factory method for Azure SDK clients. So the clients are created only when needed and once per whole application lifetime.
