Configure Liveness, Readiness and Startup Probes — Define a gRPC liveness probe
If your application implements the gRPC Health Checking Protocol, this example shows how to configure Kubernetes to use it for application liveness checks.

If your application implements the gRPC Health Checking Protocol, this example shows how to configure Kubernetes to use it for application liveness checks. Similarly you can configure readiness and startup probes.
Here is an example manifest
To try the gRPC liveness check, create a Pod using the command below. In the example below, the etcd pod is configured to use gRPC liveness probe.
After 15 seconds, view Pod events to verify that the liveness check has not failed
When using a gRPC probe, there are some technical details to be aware of
The probes run against the pod IP address or its hostname. Be sure to configure your gRPC endpoint to listen on the Pod's IP address. The probes do not support any authentication parameters (like -tls). There are no error codes for built-in probes. All errors are considered as probe failures. If ExecProbeTimeout feature gate is set to false, grpc-h
