pygnosis 0.1.2

A modern, composable health monitoring library for Python applications with hierarchical status aggregation, async support, and flexible configuration system.

Pygnosis

Asynchronous health checks for Python services.

Features

• Flexible health indicators (define your own checks)
• Composable architecture (nest indicators into trees)
• Full async/await support
• Type hints throughout
• Graceful error handling

Installation

pip install pygnosis

Quick start

import asyncio
from pygnosis import Health, HealthIndicator, Status, CompositeHealthIndicator


class DatabaseHealthIndicator(HealthIndicator):
    def get_name(self) -> str:
        return "database"

    async def get_health(self) -> Health:
        try:
            return Health.builder(Status.UP).with_detail("connections", 10).build()
        except Exception as e:
            return Health.builder(Status.DOWN).with_exception(e).build()


class RedisHealthIndicator(HealthIndicator):
    def get_name(self) -> str:
        return "redis"

    async def get_health(self) -> Health:
        return Health.builder(Status.UP).build()


async def main():
    composite = CompositeHealthIndicator(
        name="app",
        indicators=[DatabaseHealthIndicator(), RedisHealthIndicator()],
    )
    health = await composite.get_health()
    print(f"Status: {health.status}")
    print(f"Components: {health.components}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
