How can I health check ORDS?

Lukasz WasylowFeb 10 2025

Hi

Most of the REST services supports the healhtcheck endpoints like /available which can be called by other services to check if they are up and working.

I think it would be a good idea to implement a default check that can do using apex public user or is there something like this already ?

The instance-api seems more geared toward the administrators than actual service monitoring?

Kind Regards

Your ENTRA users will get authenticated via JSON Web Tokens, and their Entra roles will determine which ORDS REST APIs they can hit.

When they hit an endpoint, it'll execute code in the database as the database user that owns the schema where the REST API is defined, not as Entra defiend end user. In fact, the Entra users won't have accounts in the database (they could, but wont' need to).

The :current_user field as far as ords is concerned would be the corresponding oauth2 client or JWT issued for the authorizied session.

Your prehook should be able to alter the session to set the context that would put your RLS/VPD security policy in play.
