About Readiness and Liveness Probes

The TimesTen Operator provides readiness and liveness probes so that Kubernetes can determine the health of the TimesTen Operator.

The TimesTen Operator exposes these probes to applications in the Kubernetes cluster by creating a Kubernetes Service called timesten-operator. Although we do not recommend it, you can choose to not expose these probes by setting the TimesTen Operator EXPOSE_PROBES environment variable to "0" or by modifying the TimesTen Operator helm charts.

For information about the TimesTen Operator environment variables, see TimesTen Kubernetes Operator Environment Variables. For information about helm charts, see Use Helm in Your TimesTen Kubernetes Operator Environment.
