title: Enable eureka.client.healthcheck
body: <p>I'm following <a href="http://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/spring-cloud-netflix.html" rel="nofollow">http://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/spring-cloud-netflix.html</a> to build distributed system with Spring Cloud.</p>
  
  <p>All works as expected apart from Eureka Client Healthcheck.</p>
  
  <p>I have </p>
  
  <p>eureka:
    client:
      healthcheck:
        enabled: true</p>
  
  <p>And pointing my service to nonexisten config_server, this results in</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://myservice:8080/health" rel="nofollow">http://myservice:8080/health</a>
  {
  status: "DOWN"
  }</p>
  
  <p>But Eureka server still showing this instance as UP and keep sending traffic to it.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
