Techniques are disclosed to provide automated remediation of services within a distributed computing system. A remediation service may receive an indication to evaluate a level of health of a first service in a distributed computing system. In response, the remediation service may determine a dependency of the first service on a second service. The remediation service can use a monitor plugin corresponding to the second service to obtain a health metric of the second service. Based on the health metric, the remediation service can determine whether the second service is unhealthy. If the second service is unhealthy, the remediation service can perform a remediation task for the second service.

Techniques for automated service monitoring and remediation in a distributed computing system

Techniques are disclosed to provide automated remediation of services within a distributed computing system. A remediation module may be executed in the distributed computing system to monitor one or more services. Each service can have a corresponding monitor plugin that is loaded into the remediation module and configured to allow the remediation module to interface with the services. The monitor plugin may specify the dependencies of its corresponding service and remediation tasks to be performed on the service if it fails. The remediation module may generate a dependency tree for the services using the specified dependencies from each monitor plugin. The remediation module may query a service to obtain the service's health status, and then use the dependency tree to determine whether upstream services on which the unhealthy service depends are also unhealthy. If the upstream services are healthy, the remediation module may automatically perform remediation tasks on the service.
