Current Behavior

No dedicated command to check Microcks server health. Users infer status from cryptic errors during import/test commands. Reduce debugging time and enable proactive health monitoring in production environments.

Why we need this?

• No quick way to verify server health before imports/tests
• Debugging connection issues wastes developer time
• No CI/CD pre-flight health check support

How will this help?

• microcks health gives instant server diagnostics
• --watch enables continuous monitoring during deployments
• --json supports CI/CD pipeline integration
• Exit codes (0/1/2) enable automation

This error could mean:

• Microcks server is not running
• Wrong port or hostname
• Network firewall blocking connection
• Server is starting up but not ready yet
• TLS certificate issue

Debugging requires manually using curl or checking Docker logs.

Desired Behavior

Add microcks health command for quick server diagnostics:

$ microcks health
