# Health check for a load balancer probe

> A liveness probe taking no credential and not rate limited. It does not check the database or any other dependency, and carries no version or configuration.

This is a liveness check for load balancers and uptime monitors. It takes no credential, is not rate limited, and always returns the same body while the process is serving. It does not check the database or any other dependency; use [Readiness check](/api-reference/operations/ready) for that.

The response carries no version, configuration or dependency information.
