Health checks - question

[LyleDavis]

Is there a recommended and idiomatic way of implementing healthchecks for a bot making use of discordgo?

I'm thinking specifically about healthchecks in dockerfiles. The session has a LastHeartBeatAck time but I'm wondering how I could make use of that for a health check endpoint.

Is there a particular timeframe you'd recommend for the amount of time since LastHeartBeatAck at which I should label a container as unhealthy?

I see that discordgo implements it's own connection tracking with reconnects etc, it would be good if there were a way to hook into that from client code to determine the health status of the current session connection.

It seems there's a HeartBeatLatency function.

Potentially the health check could check that: If it's negative beyond a particular figure, that means the last few heartbeats haven't been acknowledged. And if it's positive beyond a particular figure, that means the taken taken for the heartbeat ping is taking too long.

I can't seem to find other bots on GitHub making use of this which makes me think it's simply the wrong way to go about health checks.
