Django runtime system check

While creating a Django website, sometimes you want a URL endpoint from where you can check your database, cache, and storage. In such cased, we can use a third-party package to keep a check on your system performance and other things and you can check your system even in production.

In this article, we are going to make a URL endpoint which will give us system check.

Example

First of all, perform all the basic settings of apps and urls.

Next, install the django-watchman package −

pip install django-watchman

Now, in settings.py, add this −

INSTALLED_APPS = (    ...    'watchman', )

This will simply add watchman as an app in our django project.

In urls.py, add the following line −

urlpatterns += [path(r'watchman/', include('watchman.urls')),]

t will define the URL endpoint where we have to go to see our system check.

With that, you are all done. Now, let's check the output.

Output
