3.21.030 Jan 2026Deprecated

Deprecate and remove duplicate or outdated checks.

Version 3.21

Changes

Resolve settings inconsistency (by removing them).
Simplify implementation to improve maintainability.
Deprecate and remove duplicate or outdated checks.

Motivation

Settings inconsistency has long been an issue of this package. Some use package dictionaries; some use single-value settings.

Over time this package has also accumulated a host of checks, some of which are outdated or similar or superior to others.

Migration Guide

Remove these health_check.* sub‑apps from INSTALLED_APPS but keep health_check!
Remove all HEALTH_CHECK_* settings from your settings file.

Replace the URL include with the view and explicit checks list. Before:

# urls.py
path("ht/", include("health_check.urls"))

After (example):

# urls.py
from health_check.views import HealthCheckView

path(
    "ht/",
    HealthCheckView.as_view(
        checks=[
            "health_check.Cache",
            "health_check.Database",
            "health_check.Disk",
            "health_check.Mail",
            "health_check.Memory",
            "health_check.Storage",
            # 3rd party checks
            "health_check.contrib.celery.Ping",
            "health_check.contrib.rabbitmq.RabbitMQ",
            "health_check.contrib.redis.Redis",
        ]
    ),
)

Removals and Replacements

StorageHealthCheck, DefaultFileStorageHealthCheck, S3BotoStorageHealthCheck, S3Boto3StorageHealthCheck have been replaced with Storage.
CeleryHealthCheck has been replaced with Ping.
MigrationsHealthCheck has been removed; its functionality is covered by Django's check framework.
DatabaseHealthCheck has been replaced with Database which doesn't require a table and supports multiple database aliases.
