Health check support?

[smebberson]

Does docker-gen support anything to do with health checks? health_status events?

Hi in my observation, this should be done by the nginx itself (https://www.nginx.com/products/nginx/load-balancing/) available on NGINX+ (plus), commercial license
OR use the open source tengine (nginx 1.8 drop-in) (http://tengine.taobao.org/document/http_upstream_check.html)(https://hub.docker.com/r/cloudposse/tengine/)

@hendywijaya the nginx container has no knowledge whether the docker-gen process is still running and listening to the Docker socket or not

Need wait for health check before publish new config - service is not started properly but start to receive requests!
