Application health checks
First Claim
1. A method in a computing system for formulating a complete address of a test point, the method comprising:
- determining from an application component a relative address of a test point, the relative address being an address that is relative to the application component;
determining from an abstract configuration of a system at least one machine on which the application component is to be deployed within the system; and
formulating a complete address of the test point from the relative address of the test point and the address of the machine on which the application component is to be deployed.

Abstract
Techniques for determining a complete address of a test point of an application from a relative address of the test point and a configuration of a system are provided. An application component that defines the application includes a relative address of the test point. An abstract configuration of a system specifies a location where an instance of the application is to be deployed within the system. The complete address of the test point is then formulated using the relative address of the test point and the indication of the location where an instance of the application is to be deployed within the system. The complete address of the test point can then be used to perform a health check of the instance of the application.

7. A system for specifying a complete address of a test point, the system comprising:
-
an application component that defines an application entity, the application component comprising an indication of a relative address of a test point for determining the health of an instance of the application entity; and
an abstract configuration of a system, the abstract configuration specifies at least one machine on which to deploy the application component, such that the relative address of the test point and the specification of the at least one machine on which to deploy the application component may be used to formulate the complete address of the test point. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method in a computing system for performing a health check of an application, the method comprising:
-
determining a relative address of a test point of an application from an application component that defines the application;
determining from an abstract configuration of a system a location where an instance of the application is to be deployed;
formulating a complete address of the test point from the relative address of the test point and the location where an instance of the application is to be deployed; and
probing the test point using the complete address of the test point to determine the health of the application. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
