# Performing a health check on server nodes with the REST API

This section provides information for getting health check results using the ALM Octane REST API.

In this topic:

## Overview

This REST API call checks the health of each individual server node.

It can be particularly useful for load balancing. Run a health check on each node and if a node is not available, remove it from the load balancer.
