I find it confusing that the response object within a HealthCheck is what declares the name. This seems counter intuitive, the name should be constant, the status should be the variable part.

This means as a developer I can do this:

if(isUp()) {
   return Response.named("my service is up").up();
else {
   return Response.named("my service is down").down();
}
