# Application-Health-Checkup

**Purpose:**

This Python script is designed to monitor the uptime and health of a web application. It periodically checks the application's HTTP status code and reports whether it's 'up' (functioning correctly) or 'down' (unavailable or not responding).

**How it works:**

1. Imports necessary libraries: `requests` for making HTTP requests and `time` for introducing delays between checks.

2. Defines a function `check_application_health`:

   - Takes the application URL as input.

   - Attempts to make a GET request to the URL with a timeout.

   - Returns 'up' if the request is successful and the status code is 200.

   - Returns 'down' if the request fails or the status code is not 200.

3. Defines the `main` function:

   - Sets the application URL.

   - Continuously checks the application health using `check_application_health`.

   - Prints the status to the console.

   - Sleeps for a specified interval before the next check.

**Usage:**

1. Replace `"http://google.com"` with the actual URL of your application.

2. Adjust the `time.sleep(60)` value to change the check interval as needed.

3. Run the script `python3 app.py`.

**Example Output:**

```

Application status: up

Application status: down

Application status: up

```
