api	/sys/health - HTTP API	docs-http-system-health	The `/sys/health` endpoint is used to check the health status of Vault.

`/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.

Sample Request

$ curl \
    https://vault.rocks/v1/sys/health

Sample Response

This response is only returned for a GET request.
