# Performing health checks on the ABS AI engine

## About this task

Use the following options to conduct a health check on the ABS AI engine:

## Steps

* To check the ABS Admin API, use the ABS [Admin REST API](../pingintelligence_reference_guide/pingintelligence_admin_rest_api.html) either from the Postman Collection or use the `curl` command:

  ```shell
  $ curl -k -X GET 'https://<ABS Hostname>/IP:8080/v4/abs/admin' -H 'x-abs-ak:  <ABS access key>' -H 'x-abs-sk:  <ABS ssecret key>'
  ```

* If the ABS AI engine is running as a `systemctl` service, use the following command to check the status of the service:

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

* To check the ABS log for job failures, use the following command:

  ```shell
  $ grep allocated logs/abs/abs.log | grep failure
  ```

  ### Troubleshooting:

  If any failures are detected, reach out to the Ping Identity Support team.

* Check the ABS log for MongoDB heartbeats in the `/logs/abs/abs.log` file, which reports the status of MongoDB heartbeats at regular intervals.

  This file indicates any ABS to MongoDB connectivity issues.
