Health Check

Health Check is a read-only diagnostics panel, not a form you fill in. It reports, in real time, whether the platform’s core dependencies are reachable and correctly configured:
  • Infrastructure: Database, search index, schema migrations
  • Search: Search reindex status, semantic search embeddings (when enabled)
  • External dependencies: Authentication keys, ingestion service, log storage (when configured), object storage
  • Collate AI: AI Platform, NLQ Hybrid Search (reports as disabled when not configured)
Run it first whenever something feels off elsewhere in Collate. A stuck ingestion pipeline or missing search results often trace back to one of these checks failing. Purpose and Benefits
  • Purpose: Check live status of the platform’s core dependencies, such as the database and search index.
  • Benefits: Gives you one place to look before troubleshooting an issue anywhere else.

How to Check

To check platform health, follow the steps below:
  1. Navigate to Settings > Preferences > Health Check. Health Check panel
  2. Review the status of each check: Infrastructure
    • Database: Connectivity to the metadata database. If this fails, nothing in Collate can read or write metadata.
    • Search Instance: Connectivity to the search/index cluster. If this fails, search, discovery, and lineage graphs stop returning results.
    • Migrations: That all expected schema migrations have run. An incomplete migration can cause unpredictable errors elsewhere until it’s resolved.
    Search
    • Search Reindex Status: That every deployed search index was built from the current index mapping, so no reindex is pending. A pending reindex means some assets may not appear in search until it completes.
    • Semantic Search: That the embeddings used for semantic search are working, shown only when semantic search is enabled. If this fails, natural-language search falls back to keyword matching.
    External dependencies
    • Pipeline Service Client: Connectivity to the ingestion pipeline service. If this fails, no ingestion or profiler workflow can be triggered.
    • JWKs: That the configured JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) validates correctly. If this fails, token-based authentication can break for some or all users.
    • Log Storage: Connectivity to S3 log storage, shown only when S3 storage is configured. If this fails, ingestion runner logs aren’t retrievable from the UI.
    • Object Storage: Connectivity to object storage used for uploaded file content, for example Context Center Drive. If this fails, uploaded files become unreachable.
    Collate AI
    • AI Platform: That the AI Platform powering Collate AI and AI Agents is reachable. If this fails, Collate AI features and AI Agents stop working.
    • NLQ Hybrid Search: That natural language search’s LLM-backed filter extraction is configured and initialized. Always shown, and reports as failed with an “NLQ Hybrid Search is not enabled” message when the feature is off.
