# Get Server Health API changed

> Breaking change notice that the getServerHealth API response has been updated in Platform 6 to more accurately reflect release versioning.

The `getServerHealth` API, corresponding to the HTTP route `GET /health/server`, has been changed to more accurately reflect the new release versioning practices adopted with Platform 6.

### What changed

The response object previously returned `version` and `release` properties as follows:

* `version` — The Build Version of the Platform.
* `release` — The Release Version of the Platform.

After this change, the `version`, `release`, and new `build` properties are returned as follows:

* `version` — The Release Version of the Platform. This is the version communicated in release materials and documentation.
* `build` — The Build Version, which was previously returned by the `version` property.
* `release` — The Release Version, now redundant with `version`. Retained to lessen the breaking nature of this change.

**Old response:**

```json
{
  "version": "2025.21.0",
  "release": "6.0.1"
}
```

**New response:**

```json
{
  "version": "6.0.1",
  "release": "6.0.1",
  "build": "2025.13.1"
}
```

### Why this change was made

This change better aligns Itential Platform with the versioning communicated to customers. Platform now identifies its own `version` accurately as the Release Version presented to users in marketing materials and documentation.

### What should I do?

If any of your use cases depend on the exact versioning pattern previously returned by the `version` field of `getServerHealth`, update that use case to use the new `build` field, or to operate in terms of the Release Version now returned by `version`.

Both the Build Version and Release Version follow semantic versioning. The difference between the two is only the actual content of the value.
