.. _config_http_filters_health_check: Health check ============ * Health check filter :ref:`architecture overview ` * :ref:`v3 API reference ` * This filter should be configured with the name *envoy.filters.http.health_check*. .. note:: Note that the filter will automatically fail health checks and set the :ref:`x-envoy-immediate-health-check-fail ` header on all responses (both health check and normal requests) if the :ref:`/healthcheck/fail ` admin endpoint has been called. (The :ref:`/healthcheck/ok ` admin endpoint reverses this behavior).
