How to check if trivy is up and running

Question

Trivy scanner documentation does not mention how to test if trivy server is up and running (a simple API call by a monitoring check would be fine in docs). https://aquasecurity.github.io/trivy

$ curl http://trivy.local:8080
404 page not found

Of course, I could monitor for 404 response, but I would no be sure if trivy is healthy. I would just know it is up.

Answer 1

I found a closed issue https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy/issues/534 which mentions using /healthz endpoint:

$ curl http://trivy.local:8080/healthz
ok

Hopefully, this will help others looking for a simple way to monitor trivy server.
