Health & Status

Each config item has attributes used to quickly determine the health and status of an item.

• health can be one of healthy, unhealthy,unknown, warning and correspondes with RAG (Red, Amber, Green) status that will be associated with an item
• status is a config type specific short description of the current running state e.g. Running, Terminating, in-use
• ready indicates whether an item is still progressing

Health is orthagonal to readiness

A config item could have a state of heath: unhealthy, status: failed, ready: true - this indicates that the item will unlikely change its state, while an item of health: health, status: rolling-out, ready: false indicates a healthy item that has not yet finished rolling out.

The github.com/flanksource/is-healthy is used to derive these conditions.
