EBHealthCheckMiddleware

✓ from ebhealthcheck import EBHealthCheckMiddleware

✗ from ebhealthcheck.middleware import EBHealthCheckMiddleware

Add to INSTALLED_APPS and MIDDLEWARE, then run management command periodically.

# settings.py INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'ebhealthcheck', ] MIDDLEWARE = [ ... 'ebhealthcheck.middleware.EBHealthCheckMiddleware', ] # Optional: customize health check path (default '/healthcheck/') EB_HEALTHCHECK_PATH = '/health/' # Run management command to update ALLOWED_HOSTS (cron or startup) # python manage.py update_eb_allowed_hosts

Debug

Known issues

breakingALLOWED_HOSTS is updated persistently via the management command, not just in memory. If the instance IP changes, old entries persist.

fix

Run 'python manage.py update_eb_allowed_hosts' on a schedule (e.g., cron) to refresh IPs.

affects: all

deprecatedThe library is in maintenance mode; no updates since 2020. May not work with recent Django versions (e.g., 4.x/5.x) due to middleware API changes.

fix

Test with your Django version. Consider alternative like django-allow-cidr or manual ALLOWED_HOSTS configuration.

affects: 2.0.0-2.0.2

gotchaThe middleware only adds the instance's public IP. If multiple instances or IP changes, you must run the management command. Health check path defaults to '/healthcheck/'.

fix

Set EB_HEALTHCHECK_PATH in settings if your health check endpoint differs.
