# Management API
Prometheus provides a set of management APIs to facilitate automation and integration.
### Health check
```
GET /-/healthy
HEAD /-/healthy
```
This endpoint always returns 200 and should be used to check Prometheus health.
### Readiness check
```
GET /-/ready
HEAD /-/ready
```
This endpoint returns 200 when Prometheus is ready to serve traffic (i.e. respond to queries).
### Reload
```
PUT /-/reload
POST /-/reload
```
This endpoint triggers a reload of the Prometheus configuration and rule files. It's disabled by default and can be enabled via the `--web.enable-lifecycle` flag.
Alternatively, a configuration reload can be triggered by sending a `SIGHUP` to the Prometheus process.
### Quit
```
PUT /-/quit
POST /-/quit
```
This endpoint triggers a graceful shutdown of Prometheus. It's disabled by default and can be enabled via the `--web.enable-lifecycle` flag.
Alternatively, a graceful shutdown can be triggered by sending a `SIGTERM` to the Prometheus process.
