Question

app Health check Unavailable

Hi,

I have a node app running on App Platform. I also have configured an express app that exposes /health route that returns 200 OK. In my app spec I have:

  health_check:
    http_path: /health
  http_port: 3000

But when entering the Overview tab it’s always says:

APP HEALTH CHECK
Unavailable

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @etai87e 👋🏼

Yesterday we discovered a bug related to the health status reporting in the control panel. Some apps were incorrectly displayed as “Unhealthy” even though they were healthy and there was nothing actually wrong.

This has been resolved since — please take a look at the control panel again and let us know if you’re still seeing any issues.
