For some installations of DSpace, it might be helpful to have a URL you can configure as a healthcheck for some sort of monitoring system (Monit, Eye). Some installations use load balancers, and those load balancers need a URL to check to confirm the system is functioning correctly. Here are some suggestions for you to use.

Frontend

/home

Be sure to append that path to the main URL of your DSpace instance's frontend URL. For example: https://demo7.dspace.org/home

Backend

/server/api/core/collections

/server/api/core/sites

Be sure to append these paths to the main URL of your DSpace instance's backend URL. For example: https://api7.dspace.org/server/api/core/collections

Both of those endpoints will throw an error if Solr is down or similar, and both are anonymously available (no login required).
