# Check GreptimeDB Status

GreptimeDB provides a series of HTTP endpoints to query the operational status of GreptimeDB.
The following HTTP requests assume that GreptimeDB is running on node `127.0.0.1` with the HTTP service listening on the default port `4000`.

## Check if GreptimeDB is running normally

You can use the `/health` endpoint to check if GreptimeDB is running normally.
An HTTP status code `200 OK` indicates that GreptimeDB is running normally.

Example:

```bash
curl -i -X GET http://127.0.0.1:4000/health
```

Output:

```text
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: application/json
content-length: 2
date: Tue, 31 Dec 2024 02:15:22 GMT

{}
```
