Monitoring#

There are two API endpoints you can call to check the status of your instance: /healthz and /metrics.

healthz#

The /healthz endpoint returns a standard HTTP status code. 200 indicates the instance is reachable. It is available for both self-hosted and Cloud users.

Access the endpoint:

1
<your-instance-url>/healthz

metrics#

The /metrics endpoint provides more detailed information about the current status of the instance.

Access the endpoint:

1
<your-instance-url>/metrics

Feature availability

The /metrics endpoint isn't available on n8n Cloud.
