Degraded state?

[tangtony]

When a non-fatal check fails, the top level status is still "ok". Is the intent that you have to check each component for success in order to determine if the service is actually 100% ok?

Would it be possible to add support for a degraded state or something along the lines of "there are failures, but nothing fatal"?

@tangtony apologies for the late response.

I do like this idea. Could you maybe expand upon it a bit? I'm thinking in terms of how to best use that information in a consumer...a readiness probe for example. How could we unambiguously say "there are some failures, but nothing fatal" to a listening process?

I think that's exactly it - if a non-fatal service fails, then the lib can return a 2xx (other than 200) and a JSON status of degraded. Seems legit?
