Healthcheck - JSON Response

If you want to follow the redirect for your health check you will have to create an external monitor that leverages curl -L which will follow the redirect.

Do you have a good example of a curl external monitor? I'd like to try to figure out myself but need some direction as a lot of this is new to me.
