   We shouldn't change the code when the scheduler isn't working. This endpoint should only checks health of webserver and required components - metabase. Otherwise the web server will be restarted much more often than necessary.
   
   We have a related note in doc.
   
   > For this check to work, at least one working web server is required. Suppose you use this check for scheduler monitoring, then in case of failure of the web server, you will lose the ability to monitor scheduler, which means that it can be restarted even if it is in good condition. For greater confidence, consider using [CLI Check for Scheduler](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/logging-monitoring/check-health.html#check-health-cli-checks-for-scheduler).
