• name: The name of the service.
• status_url: The URL used to check the service's status.
• service_url: The URL to the service's user interface, if available.
• logs_url: The URL to the service's logs, if available.
• method: The HTTP method to use when checking the status (e.g., GET).
• headers: Any HTTP headers required for the status check.
• expected_status: The HTTP status code that indicates the service is active.
