Service Mesh Health Probe

Service Mesh Health Probe is a networking availability check that tests whether a service or path can receive traffic for east-west service communication. It uses timed requests, thresholds, and regional checks so teams can send traffic only to healthy targets while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The network engineering team used Service Mesh Health Probe when a service called another service, so the team could send traffic only to healthy targets before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
