Alien2150 opened a new issue #11161: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/11161
**Description** Improve health checks for Airflow **Use case / motivation** According to https://airflow.apache.org/docs/stable/howto/check-health.html the health endpoint includes db and scheduler health-information. But the Http code is not usable as a health-basis which is not useful for orchestrating software like Kubernetes. It think it would be better to add 2 more additional routes: * /health/scheduler * /health/metadatabase On top it would be great to utilize Http code as health metric (e.g 200 for healthy and 4xx as unhealthy). In that case it would be possible to let Kubernetes health probes check the http status code in order to restart scheduler for example. **Related Issues** ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
