Additional information

Adds an IHealthCheckPublisher which publishes health checks as telemetry.

• Writes log statements for the health checks. Currently will only log when unhealthy.
• Adds 2 metrics for health

Name	Instrument Type	Unit (UCUM)	Description
azure.functions.health_check.reports	Histogram	{health}{0, 0.5, 1}[1]	Represents the overall health state of the instance

[1]: Represents the health as a double, ranging from 0 to 1. 1 = healthy, 0.5 = degraded, 0 = unhealthy. By keeping this between 0 and 1, we open the door to a percentage based health calculation.

Attribute	Type	Description	Examples
azure.functions.health_check.tag	String	The health check tag the metric is for	<empty_string> [1], azure.functions.liveness, azure.functions.readiness

[1]: Empty string represents all health checks being included for this metric

Name	Instrument Type	Unit (UCUM)	Description
azure.functions.health_check.unhealthy_checks	Histogram	{health}{0, 0.5, 1}[1]	Represents the individual health state of the health check components. Only emitted when not healthy.

[1]: Represents the health as a double, ranging from 0 to 1. 1 = healthy, 0.5 = degraded, 0 = unhealthy. By keeping this between 0 and 1, we open the door to a percentage based health calculation.

Attribute	Type	Description	Examples
azure.functions.health_check.tag	String	The health check tag the metric is for	<empty_string> [1], azure.functions.liveness, azure.functions.readiness
azure.functions.health_check.name	String	The name of the health check [2]	azure.functions.script_host.lifecycle, azure.functions.web_host.lifecycle, azure.functions.deployment

[1]: Empty string represents this was part of the all health checks publish. The goal is to have this tag match with azure.functions.health_check.reports so they can be joined into a single view/query in dashboards.
[2]: The name of a health check should follow OTel attribute naming conventions itself.

Other Changes

• Introduces ObjectPool<T> usage, with helpers for getting shared pools. First shared pool introduced is for StringBuilder. This allows for efficient re-usage of string builders when possible.
  • Will make a PR later to shift to using the shared string builder pool throughout the repo.

Notes

We intend to use health checks to back liveness & readiness probes. As such, having metrics scoped to specific health check tags will be important to highlight directly the history of those probes. This is why TelemetryHealthCheckPublisher has the additionalTags parameter. This approach will lead to redundant metrics, as publishing metrics for the "default" (no tag) health check plus a tag-filtered health check will overlap.

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds a new TelemetryHealthCheckPublisher that publishes health check results as telemetry data (logs and metrics), along with supporting infrastructure for object pooling. The implementation enables health check monitoring through structured telemetry with configurable filtering by tags.

• Introduces TelemetryHealthCheckPublisher with telemetry output for health checks (logs for unhealthy states, metrics for all states)
• Adds object pooling infrastructure with PoolFactory, PoolRental<T>, and extensions for efficient memory management
• Updates test dependencies from FluentAssertions to AwesomeAssertions across multiple test files
