Create Consul health checks for PHP stack

Create consul health checks for the various pieces of the php stack (web, db, etc)

@evan4498

So, basically we need to have two checks created? One for whatever web service should be running, (apache, nginx, etc) and one for whatever DB service should be running (MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres)?

I think we might be able to write one script and feed it arguments.

• Check for this process name.
• Ensure this port is listening.
• Ensure this text is included in the response.

That sound right?

Checkout the new branch: https://github.com/rackspace-cookbooks/platformstack/tree/consulhealthchecks

Should have two check scripts:

• process name
• port

and a template for the service check definition. Please review and clear me for a PR attempt.

uh... why are we doing this in platformstack?

[prometheanfire]

also, we need to have a discussion on how exactly consul will integrate with the stacks

[Linuturk]

Doing it here because that is where the issue was created. Absolutely open to discussion on any of it.

Per previous discussions PlatformStack is where Consul itself will be installed and have its basic configuration done. Adding the health checks on a per service basis, as well as configuring those services are still TBD on placement, but for now we will keep the health check files in a branch on platformstack @prometheanfire

Can we clean this up? No longer need this issue assigned to me.
