+## Health and Monitoring
+
+QuickChart has two API endpoints to determine the health of the service.  
+
+`/healthcheck` is a basic endpoint that returns a 200 status code and a JSON object that looks like this: `{"success":true,"version":"1.1.0"}`.  
+
+A second endpoint, `/healthcheck/chart` returns a 302 status code and redirects to a chart with random attributes.  Although it is a more expensive endpoint, it can be useful for cache busting or testing chart rendering.
+
+The hosted QuickChart service uses [monit](https://mmonit.com/monit/) to make sure the service is online and restart it if not.  An example monit config is in `test/monit`.
