Health check using spring-boot actuator health endpoint

[MorrisZ]

Problem
I have a customized HealthIndicator that simply marks the service as 'DOWN'.
But when I checked the znode data, it showed that 'instance_status' was 'UP'.

When using spring-cloud-gateway along with zookeeper registry, I expect that it would NOT forward requests to a service being 'DOWN'. But for now it seems impossible.

I solved that on my own by using a scheduler and querying the health endpoint.
Would happily provide a PR for this if this is a way to go.

@spencergibb Any interest that I provide a PR? Or is this not the way to go?

@spencergibb @OlgaMaciaszek Any interest in a PR for this one.

[spencergibb]

Yes, PRs welcome, that's why it's labeled "help wanted"

[JWThewes]

Took some time because pandemic times require me too be there for my children. But now I've finally provided a solution for this.

[spencergibb]

Totally understandable
