Monitoring destinations

Why Fajita blocks private and reserved network destinations, and how to make an endpoint monitorable.

Core

Fajita only checks public destinations. This protects both your network and Fajita's infrastructure from being used to reach internal systems.

Blocked destinations

  • Private IP ranges and loopback addresses.
  • Link-local and cloud metadata endpoints.
  • Reserved networks.
  • Unsupported protocols and restricted ports.
  • Redirects that resolve to any of the above.

Make an endpoint monitorable

  • Expose a public HTTPS health endpoint.
  • Remove redirects that point to private destinations.
  • Use an authentication header instead of a private network path.
  • Return minimal health data and keep secrets out of query parameters.
