HTTP 200 OK
The standard success response. The request was received, understood, and a response body is being returned.
What it means
200 OK is the default success status — what every GET, PUT, PATCH, or POST returns when nothing went wrong. The response body contains the requested resource (for GET) or a representation of the result (for POST/PUT).
Don't read too much into a 200: it only means the server returned a response, not that the response was correct. A health endpoint that responds 200 with body 'database down' is technically OK to HTTP — which is why content-match monitoring exists.
Common causes
- Normal successful GET / POST / PUT / PATCH request
- Cached response served from a CDN
- API handler that completed without throwing
How Uptimera reports 200
Uptimera treats 200 as healthy by default. For endpoints where 200 isn't a sufficient signal of correctness (status JSON, health checks), configure content-match rules — e.g. response must include "ok": true.
