MinIO server exposes three un-authenticated, healthcheck endpoints liveness probe, readiness probe and a cluster probe at `/minio/health/live`, `/minio/health/ready` and `/minio/health/cluster` respectively.
This probe is not useful in almost all cases, this is meant for administrators to see if quorum is available in any given cluster. The reply is '200 OK' if cluster has quorum if not it returns '503 Service Unavailable'.
You may query the cluster probe endpoint to check if the node which received the request can be taken down for maintenance, if the server replies back '412 Precondition Failed' this means you will loose HA. '200 OK' means you are okay to proceed.
