api	/sys/health - HTTP API	<tt>/sys/health</tt>	api-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
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 \
    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.
