# Ping
Checking the Health of Your Traefik Instances
{: .subtitle }
## Configuration Examples
To enable the API handler:
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
[ping]
```
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
ping: {}
```
```bash tab="CLI"
--ping=true
```
## Configuration Options
The `/ping` health-check URL is enabled with the command-line `--ping` or config file option `[ping]`.
The `entryPoint` where the `/ping` is active can be customized with the `entryPoint` option,
whose default value is `traefik` (port `8080`).
| Path | Method | Description |
|---------|---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `/ping` | `GET`, `HEAD` | A simple endpoint to check for Traefik process liveness. Return a code `200` with the content: `OK` |
!!! note
The `cli` comes with a [`healthcheck`](./cli.md#healthcheck) command which can be used for calling this endpoint.
### `entryPoint`
_Optional, Default="traefik"_
Enabling /ping on a dedicated EntryPoint.
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
[entryPoints]
[entryPoints.ping]
address = ":8082"
[ping]
entryPoint = "ping"
```
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
entryPoints:
ping:
address: ":8082"
ping:
entryPoint: "ping"
```
```bash tab="CLI"
--entryPoints.ping.address=:8082
--ping.entryPoint=ping
```
### `manualRouting`
_Optional, Default=false_
If `manualRouting` is `true`, it disables the default internal router in order to allow one to create a custom router for the `ping@internal` service.
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
[ping]
manualRouting = true
```
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
ping:
manualRouting: true
```
```bash tab="CLI"
--ping.manualrouting=true
```
