IMPORTANT: This documentation is no longer updated. Refer to Elastic's version policy and the latest documentation.

Server information API

edit

The APM Server exposes an API endpoint to query general server information. This lightweight endpoint is useful as a server up/down health check.

Server Information endpoint

edit

Send an HTTP GET request to the server information endpoint:

http(s)://{hostname}:{port}/

This endpoint always returns an HTTP 200.

If API keys or a Secret token is configured, requests to this endpoint must be authenticated.

Example

edit

Example APM Server information request:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8200/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer secret_token"
