      summary: Grafana Check Datasource Health With UID
      description: This API operation performs a health check on a specific Grafana datasource identified by its unique identifier (UID). When invoked via a GET request to the endpoint '/datasources/uid/{uid}/health', it verifies the connectivity and operational status of the datasource, returning information about whether the datasource is accessible and functioning correctly. This is useful for monitoring and troubleshooting datasource configurations, allowing administrators to quickly determine if a particular datasource is available and responding as expected without needing to know the datasource's internal ID, instead using the more user-friendly UID reference.

      summary: Grafana Check Datasource Health By ID
      description: Sends a health check request to the data source identified by its numeric ID and returns the current operational status. This endpoint verifies whether Grafana can successfully connect to and communicate with the specified data source, helping administrators diagnose connectivity issues or validate data source configurations.
