Following CURL commands can be executed on the Kubernetes control nodes where etcd pods are running to check the health status of etcd and get metrics.
CURL command to check healthstatus of etcd
curl --cert /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.crt --key /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.key --cacert /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/ca.crt -L https://127.0.0.1:2379/health
Below is sample output which shows etcd health status as healthy.
{"health":"true","reason":""}
CURL command to check metrics of etcd
curl --cert /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.crt --key /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.key --cacert /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/ca.crt -L https://127.0.0.1:2379/metrics
Below is partial snippet of sample output.
