As part of the release of Laravel 11, new applications include a health /up
endpoint. This route is defined in the new bootstrap/app.php
file by passing the health parameter—which is defined by default in the Laravel 11 skeleton:
Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
->withProviders()
->withRouting(
web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
// api: __DIR__.'/../routes/api.php',
commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
// channels: __DIR__.'/../routes/channels.php',
+ health: '/up',
)
// ...
When setting up the application routing, the Laravel framework defines the health route and also emits a DiagnosingHealth
event:
use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\DiagnosingHealth;
// ...
if (is_string($health)) {
Route::middleware('web')->get($health, function () {
Event::dispatch(new DiagnosingHealth);
return View::file(__DIR__.'/../resources/health-up.blade.php');
});
}
The route is configurable with the default /up
endpoint and returns an animated “Application up” health page in the browser:
