Umbraco Health Check

This skill helps you implement health checks in Umbraco's backoffice dashboard, both on the frontend using TypeScript manifests and contexts, and on the backend with C# classes. It fetches the latest official docs before generating code, so you're not working from stale patterns. You'll want this when building custom diagnostics that need to monitor services, verify configurations, or provide one-click fixes for common issues. The examples are minimal but complete, showing the full manifest-to-context pattern with proper result types and action handlers. It covers the UmbHealthCheckContext API and the C# HealthCheck base class, which is helpful since health checks can live on either side of the stack.

Umbraco Health Check

What is it?

Health Checks in Umbraco allow you to create custom system diagnostics that appear in the Health Check dashboard. They verify that your Umbraco installation and related services are functioning correctly. Health checks can report status, display warnings, and provide actionable recommendations for resolving issues.
