<h1>Checking Airflow Health Status<a class="headerlink" href="#checking-airflow-health-status" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>To check the health status of your Airflow instance, you can simply access the endpoint
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/health</span></code>. It will return a JSON object in which a high-level glance is provided.</p>
<div class="highlight-JSON notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">{</span>
<span class="nt">&quot;metadatabase&quot;</span><span class="p">:{</span>
<span class="nt">&quot;status&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="s2">&quot;healthy&quot;</span>
<span class="p">},</span>
<span class="nt">&quot;scheduler&quot;</span><span class="p">:{</span>
<span class="nt">&quot;status&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="s2">&quot;healthy&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="nt">&quot;latest_scheduler_heartbeat&quot;</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="s2">&quot;2018-12-26 17:15:11+00:00&quot;</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">status</span></code> of each component can be either “healthy” or “unhealthy”</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The status of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">metadatabase</span></code> depends on whether a valid connection can be initiated with the database</p></li>
<li><p>The status of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scheduler</span></code> depends on when the latest scheduler heartbeat was received</p>
<ul>
<li><p>If the last heartbeat was received more than 30 seconds (default value) earlier than the current time, the scheduler is
considered unhealthy</p></li>
<li><p>This threshold value can be specified using the option <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scheduler_health_check_threshold</span></code> within the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scheduler</span></code> section in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">airflow.cfg</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Please keep in mind that the HTTP response code of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/health</span></code> endpoint <strong>should not</strong> be used to determine the health
status of the application. The return code is only indicative of the state of the rest call (200 for success).</p>
