+h2. Health check aggregator
 
 The service @arvados-health@ performs health checks on all configured services and returns a single value of @OK@ or @ERROR@ for the entire cluster.  It exposes the endpoint @/_health/all@ .
 
 The healthcheck aggregator uses the @Services@ section of the cluster-wide @config.yml@ configuration file.

+h2. Health check command
+
+The @arvados-server check@ command is another way to perform the same health checks as the health check aggregator service. It does not depend on the aggregator service.
+
+If all checks pass, it writes @health check OK@ to stderr (unless the @-quiet@ flag is used) and exits 0. Otherwise, it writes error messages to stderr and exits with error status.
+
+@arvados-server check -yaml@ outputs a YAML document on stdout with additional details about each service endpoint that was checked.
