# Perform health checks on ASE

This section discusses the commands that can be used to check the health status of ASE. You can use the following options to conduct a health check on ASE nodes :

* **Health check URL**

  Enable the ASE health check URL in the `/pingidentity/ase/config/ase.conf` file. To do this set the `enable_ase_health` config property to `true`. The default value of`enable_ase_health` is `false`.

  If the configuration is modified on a running ASE node, restart the node after modifying the configuration. For more information, see [Start and stop ASE](../api_security_enforcer/pingintelligence_starting_and_stopping_ase.html). In a clustered ASE environment, stop the ASE cluster and update the `ase.conf` file of the primary node and restart the other ASE nodes. For more information, see [Restart ASE cluster](../api_security_enforcer/pingintelligence_restarting_ase_cluster.html).

  Once the `enable_ase_health` is set to `true`, hit thhe following URLs and do a health check. If ASE is receiving the traffic, the response will be `200 OK`.

  ```
  http://<ase-hostname/ip>:<http_port>/ase
  https://<ase-hostname/ip>:<https_port>/ase
  ```

* **Status command**

  Use the following CLI command to know the status of an ASE process, the running status of http or https process, and port number. It also gives basic configuration information.

  ```shell
  $./bin/cli.sh status
  ```

* **ABS Info command**

  This command shows the status of communication between ABS and all the ASE nodes in a cluster. It shows last log upload and attack fetch information from ABS. If ASE is having any issues in uploading logs to ABS or connecting to ABS it will be reported in the output of the abs\_info command.

  ```shell
  $ ./bin/cli.sh -u admin -p admin abs_info
  ```

* **Process status**

  If ASE is running as a` systemctl` service, use the following command to check the status of the service.

  ```shell
  $ systemctl status pi-ase.service
  ```
