How often does health checks happen?

I see a request sent to my website every 5-10 seconds. I don’t want my website being flooded with requests like that, and I want to change this delay to at least 5 minutes, but I can’t find a way to do that. They do not seem to be coming from a real user because the path has no valuable information.

Hi,

If you set a Health Check path on a service it will be checked every 5 seconds to ensure the platform can catch any response issues quickly and restart your service if required. The interval is not configurable.

You could remove the health check path from the service settings, or if you just want to remove health check requests being output to your logs you could update your code to not log requests from the “Render/1.0” user-agent.
