Umbraco Health Check

What is it?

Health Checks in Umbraco allow you to create custom system diagnostics that appear in the Health Check dashboard. They verify that your Umbraco installation and related services are functioning correctly. Health checks can report status, display warnings, and provide actionable recommendations for resolving issues.
