The HTTP status code in the response reflects the overall health status (for example, `UP` maps to 200, while `OUT_OF_SERVICE` and `DOWN` map to 503).
The HTTP status code in the response reflects the overall health status.
By default, `OUT_OF_SERVICE` and `DOWN` map to 503.
Any unmapped health statuses, including `UP`, map to 200.
You might also want to register custom status mappings if you access the health endpoint over HTTP.
For example, the following property maps `FATAL` to 503 (service unavailable):
Configuring a custom mapping disables the defaults mappings for `DOWN` and `OUT_OF_SERVICE`.
If you want to retain the default mappings they must be configured explicitly alongside any custom mappings.
For example, the following property maps `FATAL` to 503 (service unavailable) and retains the default mappings for `DOWN` and `OUT_OF_SERVICE`:

WARNING: A custom status mapping replaces whole of the default status mappings.
That means the above example has only one mapping to `FATAL` and any other statuses will return the http status 200 as `UNKNOWN` health status.
TIP: If you need more control, you can define your own `HttpCodeStatusMapper` bean.
