# health

This module enables a simple health check.

By default it will listen on port 8080.

Restarting CoreDNS will stop the health checking. This is a bug. Also [this upstream
Caddy bug](https://github.com/mholt/caddy/issues/675).

## Syntax

~~~
health
~~~

Optionally takes an address; the default is `:8080`. The health path is fixed to `/health`. It
will just return "OK" when CoreDNS is healthy.

This middleware only needs to be enabled once.

## Examples

~~~
health localhost:8091
