	// Active health checks run in the background on a timer. To
	// minimally enable active health checks, set either path or
	// port (or both). Note that active health check status
	// (healthy/unhealthy) is stored per-proxy-handler, not
	// globally; this allows different handlers to use different
	// criteria to decide what defines a healthy backend.
	//
	// Active health checks do not run for dynamic upstreams.
	Active *ActiveHealthChecks `json:"active,omitempty"`

	// Passive health checks monitor proxied requests for errors or timeouts.
	// To minimally enable passive health checks, specify at least an empty
	// config object with fail_duration > 0. Passive health check state is
	// shared (stored globally), so a failure from one handler will be counted
	// by all handlers; but the tolerances or standards for what defines
	// healthy/unhealthy backends is configured per-proxy-handler.
	//
	// Passive health checks technically do operate on dynamic upstreams,
	// but are only effective for very busy proxies where the list of
	// upstreams is mostly stable. This is because the shared/global
	// state of upstreams is cleaned up when the upstreams are no longer
	// used. Since dynamic upstreams are allocated dynamically at each
	// request (specifically, each iteration of the proxy loop per request),
	// they are also cleaned up after every request. Thus, if there is a
	// moment when no requests are actively referring to a particular
	// upstream host, the passive health check state will be reset because
	// it will be garbage-collected. It is usually better for the dynamic
	// upstream module to only return healthy, available backends instead.
