It reports, in real time, whether the platform's core dependencies are reachable and correctly configured: * **Infrastructure**: Database, search index, schema migrations * **Search**: Search reindex status, semantic search embeddings (when enabled) * **External dependencies**: Authentication keys, ingestion service, log storage (when configured) Run it first whenever something feels off elsewhere in OpenMetadata — a stuck ingestion pipeline or missing search results often trace back to one of these checks failing. To check platform health, follow the steps below: 1. Navigate to **Settings** > **Preferences** > **Health Check**. Health Check panel 2. Review the status of each check: **Infrastructure** * **Database**: Connectivity to the metadata database. * **Search Instance**: Connectivity to the search/index cluster. * **Migrations**: That all expected schema migrations have run. **Search** * **Search Reindex Status**: That every deployed search index was built from the current index mapping, so no reindex is pending. * **Semantic Search**: That the embeddings used for semantic search are working, shown only when semantic search is enabled. **External dependencies** * **Pipeline Service Client**: Connectivity to the ingestion pipeline service. * **JWKs**: That the configured JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) validates correctly. * **Log Storage**: Connectivity to S3 log storage, shown only when S3 storage is configured. Health Check status for each dependency 3. Click **Refresh** to re-run all checks after fixing a reported issue.
