A health-check is a monitoring probe that tests whether a system, service, or component is operating within acceptable parameters by sending a minimal request and evaluating the response. Its parameters include the probe type (TCP connect, HTTP request, script execution), the success criteria (status code, response payload, exit code), and the evaluation interval (periodic or event-triggered). It persists through monitoring agents, scripted probes embedded in orchestration frameworks, and codified operational procedures. [formal: probatio-sanitatis | substrate: behavior | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition correctly carves health-check as a monitoring probe with clear parameters (minimal request, response evaluation). Ends with proper trailer. The definition is tight.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition properly carves health-check: states parameters (probe type, expected response, acceptable latency, failure conditions), persistence mechanism (implemented as software probes in runbooks), and includes the required trailer. Matches the entry scope.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carves health-check: monitoring probe testing system operation via minimal request/response. Parameters include probe type and acceptable response criteria. States persistence mechanism.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves: monitoring probe testing acceptable parameters, minimal request/response evaluation. Parameters include probe type, target, expected response, timeout. Includes Law 6 trailer with formal:probe, substrate:behavior.
