Check for Green Health status

[Tetradeus]

Hi,

I think it would be interesting to add a checkbox in order to also check for a "Green" health status.
This information is available in the result of "describeEnvironments" api.

Can you add it. If you don't have time at all I may send a PR when I get some time.

Thanks for your reply.

What kind of check is it doing? Waiting for the status to be healthy? I know that it can take time for the status to change after an update.

Yes It would wait for the status to be healthy.
You are right it can takes time, that is why this check should be an option. Moreover it may be better to specify the number of retries or the time to wait because it really depends on the application that is deployed.
For us, it would be really great to get the final state of the deployment directly via jenkins.

So I am thinking an extension that takes a number of retries parameter, and how long between retries. This would be on a per job basis.
