Is there a health check endpoint for Seq itself?

Does Seq have a specific health check endpoint that can be configured for monitoring of Seq itself, such as by a container or by a load balancer?

e.g. /health

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Current released versions tend to use /api for this, which works fine (returns 200 when Seq is available, and 5xx otherwise)..

In 2021.3 (due in the near future), we've introduced a dedicated /health endpoint:

#1200

Both will return 200 when Seq is available, but /health has a more suitable response body, and will report the current node's health in multi-node scenarios (rather than the leader node's). Just letting you know in case you want to switch over to it in future.

Hope this helps!
Nick
