# Check alive status

`GET /health/alive`

This endpoint returns a 200 status code when the HTTP server is up running.
This status does currently not include checks whether the database connection is working.

If the service supports TLS Edge Termination, this endpoint does not require the
`X-Forwarded-Proto` header to be set.

Be aware that if you are running multiple nodes of this service, the health status will never
refer to the cluster state, only to a single instance.

## Response `200`

healthStatus

- HealthStatus
  - `status` string — Status always contains "ok".

## Other responses
