@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ There are three different kinds of checks:
The state of the check must be updated periodically over the HTTP interface. If an
external system fails to update the status within a given TTL, the check is
set to the failed state. This mechanism, conceptually similar to a dead man's switch,
relies on the application to directly report its health. For example, a healthy web app
relies on the application to directly report its health. For example, a healthy app
can periodically `PUT` a status update to the HTTP endpoint; if the app fails, the TTL will
expire and the health check enters a critical state.
