# Health Endpoint

`GET /health`

🚨 USE `/health/liveliness` to health check the proxy 🚨

See more 👉 https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/health


Check the health of all the endpoints in config.yaml

To run health checks in the background, add this to config.yaml:
```
general_settings:
    # ... other settings
    background_health_checks: True
```
else, the health checks will be run on models when /health is called.

To skip deployments that set ``model_info.disable_background_health_check: true``
on ``GET /health`` as well as in the background loop, set
``general_settings.health_check_skip_disabled_background_models: true``.
