# `/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
|
||
- `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.
|
||
|
||
- `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.
|
||
|
||
