Response

project object
Public information about the project. Used to render the Admin App public pages.

See the settings object for more information on the individual properties of the project object.

Logged in users also get the following information:

rateLimit false | object
Whether or not the rate limiter is enabled.

rateLimit.points number
If rate-limiter is enabled, amount of allowed points per duration

rateLimit.duration number
If rate-limiter is enabled, duration in seconds in which points are counted

queryLimit.default number
The default query limit used when not defined in the API request

queryLimit.max number
The maximum query limit accepted on API requests

Example

GET /server/info

POST /graphql/system

query {
	server_info {
		project {
			project_name
		}
	}

const client = createDirectus('https://directus.example.com').with(rest());

const result = await client.request(serverInfo());

Health

Get the current health status of the server.

The /server/health endpoint shows you a general health status for the server and all connected (third party) services, such as Redis or S3.

The output is based on the "Health Check Response for HTTP APIs" draft spec: Health Check Response Format for HTTP APIs Draft Specification.

This endpoint can be used to ensure a healthy system when running in a horizontally scaled setup, like Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform or AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

By default, the endpoint only returns a status of ok, warn or error. By authenticating as an admin, it will return more in-depth information about the current health status of the system.
