Describe the Bug

I had a healthcheck for a publicly accessible resource. It pointed to an url:port that was no longer accessible, I think at some point the check was correct but then I must have changed some deployments. The thing is that the service was not accessible because that healthcheck was wrong (newt was complaining about it, that's how I found that it was the issue).

Disabling the healthcheck made the resource available again.

My point is that a healthcheck, which is basically meant to get notified about potential issues, should not block access to the actual resources if they're available.

Environment

OS Type & Version: (e.g., Ubuntu 22.04)
Pangolin Version: 1.16
Gerbil Version:
Traefik Version:
Newt Version: 1.9
Olm Version: (if applicable)

To Reproduce

Setup a publicly accessible resource with a wrong healthcheck test

Expected Behavior

The service is still accessible from the outside
