Set Target As Healthy konghq
Set the current health status of a target in the load balancer to “healthy” in the entire Kong cluster. This sets the “healthy” status to all addresses resolved by this target.
This endpoint can be used to manually re-enable a target that was previously disabled by the upstream’s health checker. Upstreams only forward requests to healthy nodes, so this call tells Kong to start using this target again.
This resets the health counters of the health checkers running in all workers of the Kong node, and broadcasts a cluster-wide message so that the “healthy” status is propagated to the whole Kong cluster.
