 * **Expected Status Code**: The HTTP status code that indicates a successful response (e.g., `200`, `301`, `404`). Any status code can be monitored, and this value determines whether the UI marks the response as a failure or success.

+## ASP.NET Core Health Checks Example
+
+You can use [ASP.NET Core Health Checks](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/health-checks?view=aspnetcore-9.0) to monitor the health of your application and its dependencies.
+
+The simplest health check implementation looks like this:
+```csharp
+// Add health checks
+builder.Services.AddHealthChecks();
+
+// Map health check endpoint
+app.MapHealthChecks("/health");
+```
+
+After creating a health check endpoint (e.g. `/health`) and implementing the `IHealthCheck` interface, your application can expose its internal state by returning a standard HTTP status:
+
+- `200 OK` if healthy  
+- `503 Service Unavailable` or similar if unhealthy
+
+Umbraco Cloud hostname monitoring checks any path, like `https://customhostname.com/health`, using HTTP response codes to determine if the application is reachable and healthy.
