# What happens if the health check indicator turns red?

Learn what to do if the health check indicator turns red.

Alby Hub relies on several services to ensure you can send and receive payments. If any of these services go offline, you’ll be notified immediately. The health check icon will turn red. Click the icon to view more details.\

Here is an example when the dot is red and there is a particular service offline:\

#### Some Examples

**Relay Offline**\
Alby provides a high quality relay service with a high level of uptime. If your hub is not connected to the relay, please double check the internet connection on the device your hub is running on.

**Offline Channels**\
Your counterparty can always go temporarily offline. In case you need more reliability, we recommend opening a second channel with another counterparty.

**Node Not Ready**\
This only applies to self-hosted Alby Hub runners who connect to LND (e.g. Umbrel or Start9). Please make sure your LND app is running and is up to date.

**Thanks. We appreciate that you went through the first steps yourself. 💛**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-hub/faq/what-happens-if-the-health-check-indicator-turns-red.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
