+# Health command API tester
+
+The directory `tests/health_cmdapi` contains the test script `health-cmdapi-test.sh` for the [health command API](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/web/api/health/README.md).
+
+The script can be executed with options to prepare the system for the tests, run them and restore the system to its previous state.
+
+It depends on the management API being accessible on localhost:19999 and on the responses to the api/v1/alarms?all requests being functional.
+It also requires read access to the management API key that is usually under `/var/lib/netdata/netdata.api.key` (`@varlibdir_POST@/netdata.api.key`).
