# `/sys/health`
The `/sys/health` endpoint is used to check the health status of Vault.
## Read Health Information
This endpoint returns the health status of Vault. This matches the semantics of
a Consul HTTP health check and provides a simple way to monitor the health of a
Vault instance.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `HEAD` | `/sys/health` | `000 (empty body)` |
| `GET` | `/sys/health` | `000 application/json` |
The default status codes are:
- `200` if initialized, unsealed, and active
- `429` if unsealed and standby
- `472` if data recovery mode replication secondary and active
- `473` if performance standby
- `501` if not initialized
- `503` if sealed
### Parameters
- `standbyok` `(bool: false)` Specifies if being a standby should still return
the active status code instead of the standby status code. This is useful when
Vault is behind a non-configurable load balance that just wants a 200-level
response.
- `activecode` `(int: 200)`  Specifies the status code that should be returned
for an active node.
- `standbycode` `(int: 429)` Specifies the status code that should be returned
for a standby node.
- `drsecondarycode` `(int: 472)` Specifies the status code that should be
returned for a DR secondary node.
- `performancestandbycode` `(int: 473)` Specifies the status code that should be
returned for a performance standby node.
- `sealedcode` `(int: 503)` Specifies the status code that should be returned
for a sealed node.
- `uninitcode` `(int: 501)` Specifies the status code that should be returned
for a uninitialized node.
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
2018-03-23 15:41:51 +00:00
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/health
```
### Sample Response
This response is only returned for a `GET` request.

Note: `replication_perf_mode` and `replication_dr_mode` reflect the state of
the active node in the cluster; if you are querying it for a standby that has
just come up, it can take a small time for the active node to inform the
standby of its status.
