Description
Definition of done
Our docs currently mention that Konnect only supports active health checks: https://developer.konghq.com/gateway/traffic-control/health-checks-circuit-breakers/
Although passive health checks don't work directly, there is a workaround. We've been asked to document this workaround.
Look into whether this should actually be documented, or if we need to take it back to PM.
Information
Enable passive health checks in Konnect - see linked video in description for a demo.
