🚦 Current Status

This package is currently maintained and should be considered Beta in terms of state. I/We are currently accepting contributions and/or dedicated contributors to help develop and maintain this package.

For more information on contributing please see the contrib message below.

🛑 Foreword

This package's lead maintainer is an employee of Strapi however this package is not officially maintained by Strapi Solutions SAS nor Strapi, Inc. and is currently maintained in the free time of the lead maintainer.

Warning

Absolutely no part of this code should be considered covered under any agreement you have with Strapi proper including but not limited to any Enterprise and/or Cloud Agreement you have with Strapi.

✨ Features

These are the primary features that are finished or currently being worked on:

• Generic ping endpoint to check if the server is running (good for checking network response time)
• Generic server endpoint to check if the server is running, server uptime, server memory usage, and server/strapi version
• Generic database endpoint to check if the database is connected, current/max connections, current database uptime, total database size, and database version
• Generic all endpoint to check all components at once
• Completely configurable to disable any data you don't want to be shown
• Integration with other plugins and providers (Redis, Upload, ect)

🤔 Motivation

The purpose of this package is to have a deeper insight into the health of a Strapi instance. This is especially useful for monitoring and debugging purposes.

🖐 Requirements

Caution

This plugin will not work with Strapi v3 or v4 projects

Supported Strapi Versions:

Strapi Version	Plugin Version	Supported	Tested On
v3.x.x	N/A	❌	N/A
v4.x.x	N/A	❌	N/A

Strapi Version	Plugin Version	Package Manager	Command
v5.x.x	Latest	Yarn	yarn add @strapi-community/plugin-healthcheck
v5.x.x	Latest	npm	npm i @strapi-community/plugin-healthcheck

🔧 Configuration

There is a very simple configuration to tailor the plugin to your needs and enable or disable certain responses (like the database size).

By default, all options are enabled, however you must enable specific endpoints in the Users-Permissions configuration or API Tokens Configuration to access them.

Sample Configuration

// ./config/plugins.js

module.exports = (env) => ({
// ...
  healthcheck: {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      server: {
        uptime: true,
        memory: true,
        version: true,
      },
      database: {
        client: true,
        connections: true,
        uptime: true,
        size: true,
        version: true,
      },
    },
  },
// ...
});

SQLite

Note

SQLite does not have a max connection limit, so that value is always 1.

Important

SQLite does not have an uptime value, so the Node process uptime is used instead.
