This status must be one of the valid check statuses: 'passing', 'warning', 'critical', 'unknown'.
If the status field is not present or the empty string, the default of 'critical' is used.
This is necessary as consul-api's tests require a real consul instance
to be running. We can't directly import an agent to fire up an instance,
due to the way this would create an import cycle. These tests instead
will start a consul instance using the binary in $PATH (if it exists).
