Added /health HTTP endpoint on port 8080 that returns:
- Agent status and version
- Uptime in seconds
- Pending metrics count
- Last error (if any)
Implementation:
- Uses lightweight tiny_http server in background thread
- Non-blocking health checks
- Returns JSON for easy integration with monitoring tools
- Ready for Kubernetes liveness/readiness probes
Example response:
{
"status": "healthy",
"version": "0.1.0",
"uptime_seconds": 3600,
"config_last_fetch": "2026-01-14T23:00:00Z",
"metrics_pending": 0,
"last_error": null
}
The agent was failing with 'no TLS backend is configured' because
ureq was configured with 'default-features = false' which disables
TLS entirely. Removing this restriction allows ureq to use its default
TLS implementation (rustls on supported platforms).
This fixes HTTPS connections to the Towerops API.
