| # Ping
 | |
| 
 | |
| Checking the Health of Your Traefik Instances
 | |
| {: .subtitle }
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Configuration Examples
 | |
| 
 | |
| To enable the API handler:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
 | |
| ping: {}
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```toml tab="File (TOML)"
 | |
| [ping]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash tab="CLI"
 | |
| --ping=true
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Configuration Options
 | |
| 
 | |
| The `/ping` health-check URL is enabled with the command-line `--ping` or config file option `[ping]`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The `entryPoint` where the `/ping` is active can be customized with the `entryPoint` option,
 | |
| whose default value is `traefik` (port `8080`).
 | |
| 
 | |
| | Path    | Method        | Description                                                                                         |
 | |
| |---------|---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 | |
| | `/ping` | `GET`, `HEAD` | An endpoint to check for Traefik process liveness. Return a code `200` with the content: `OK` |
 | |
| 
 | |
| !!! note
 | |
|     The `cli` comes with a [`healthcheck`](./cli.md#healthcheck) command which can be used for calling this endpoint.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `entryPoint`
 | |
| 
 | |
| _Optional, Default="traefik"_
 | |
| 
 | |
| Enabling /ping on a dedicated EntryPoint.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
 | |
| entryPoints:
 | |
|   ping:
 | |
|     address: ":8082"
 | |
| 
 | |
| ping:
 | |
|   entryPoint: "ping"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```toml tab="File (TOML)"
 | |
| [entryPoints]
 | |
|   [entryPoints.ping]
 | |
|     address = ":8082"
 | |
| 
 | |
| [ping]
 | |
|   entryPoint = "ping"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash tab="CLI"
 | |
| --entryPoints.ping.address=:8082
 | |
| --ping.entryPoint=ping
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `manualRouting`
 | |
| 
 | |
| _Optional, Default=false_
 | |
| 
 | |
| If `manualRouting` is `true`, it disables the default internal router in order to allow one to create a custom router for the `ping@internal` service.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
 | |
| ping:
 | |
|   manualRouting: true
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```toml tab="File (TOML)"
 | |
| [ping]
 | |
|   manualRouting = true
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash tab="CLI"
 | |
| --ping.manualrouting=true
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `terminatingStatusCode`
 | |
| 
 | |
| _Optional, Default=503_
 | |
| 
 | |
| During the period in which Traefik is gracefully shutting down, the ping handler
 | |
| returns a `503` status code by default.  
 | |
| If Traefik is behind, for example a load-balancer
 | |
| doing health checks (such as the Kubernetes LivenessProbe), another code might
 | |
| be expected as the signal for graceful termination.  
 | |
| In that case, the terminatingStatusCode can be used to set the code returned by the ping
 | |
| handler during termination.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
 | |
| ping:
 | |
|   terminatingStatusCode: 204
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```toml tab="File (TOML)"
 | |
| [ping]
 | |
|   terminatingStatusCode = 204
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash tab="CLI"
 | |
| --ping.terminatingStatusCode=204
 | |
| ```
