Viewing health check status and the reason for health check failures (original) (raw)

On the Route 53 console, you can view the status (healthy or unhealthy) of your health checks as reported by Route 53 health checkers. For all health checks except calculated health checks, you can also view the reason for the last health check failure, for example, health checkers were unable to establish a connection with the endpoint.

Note

We're updating the health checks console for Route 53. During the transition period, you can continue to use the old console.

Choose the tab for the console you are using.
