Show health check in GUI

Docker Desktop
1

It would be cool to show the health check output somewhere in Docker Desktop. I have been adding health check code to some of my containers and it’s a nice way to keep track of their status. But it requires the command line and jq:

docker inspect db1 | jq ".[].State.Health"

It would be cool to have this built into the GUI.

As an example, here is a health check for mysql.

test: ["CMD-SHELL", "mysqladmin --defaults-extra-file=/run/secrets/mysql-client status"]

It shows output like this:

{
  "Status": "healthy",
  "FailingStreak": 0,
  "Log": [
    {
      "Start": "2021-04-08T23:25:23.496021341Z",
      "End": "2021-04-08T23:25:23.563766178Z",

    }
  ]
