/n8n-status — n8n Instance Status & Health Check
Run a comprehensive status check on the connected n8n instance using n8n-cli.
Procedure
- Health check: Run
n8n-cli health to verify connectivity and auth
- Active workflows: Run
n8n-cli workflows list --active to show all active workflows
- Recent errors: Run
n8n-cli executions list --status error --limit 10 to surface recent failures
- Recent successes: Run
n8n-cli executions list --status success --limit 5 for context
- Credentials: Run
n8n-cli credentials list to show available credentials

n8n-cli tags list to show workflow organization
Output Format
Present a concise dashboard:
## n8n Status — [profile name]
Health: OK / ERROR
API URL: ...
Active Workflows: N
Total Credentials: N
### Recent Errors (last 10)
[table of failed executions with workflow name, time, error summary]
### Active Workflows
[table of active workflows]
Multi-Profile Support
If the user asks to check both instances, run with --profile cloud and --profile hostinger separately.
Default profile is cloud (aibuildlab.app.n8n.cloud). Use --profile hostinger for the self-hosted VPS instance.
Tips
- If health check fails with 401, the API key may need rotation
- If there are many errors from the same workflow, flag it as a pattern
- Group errors by workflow when presenting results
