Monitoring Status via Docker Health State

The basic status of the container can be checked via standard Docker container health mechanisms.

$ docker inspect sedex-client

       [...]
       "State": {
            "Status": "running",
            "Running": true,
            "Paused": false,
            "Restarting": false,
            "OOMKilled": false,
            "Dead": false,
            "Pid": 4804,
            "ExitCode": 0,
            "Error": "",
            "StartedAt": "2021-05-10T14:31:30.906584007Z",
            "FinishedAt": "2021-05-06T19:53:02.091368316Z",
            "Health": {
                "Status": "healthy",
                "FailingStreak": 0,
            [...]

Note: Extremely coarse indicator

The Docker health state of the container is an extremely coarse indicator. That's why it is recommended to additionally include the most important key/value pairs of the of the sedex Client's monitoring page in your own operations monitoring system.
