Hi Stephen

These are not that sort of sensors. This is part of the naming problem
here. It is not really to do with health, it is about exceptions and
bugs. And the sensors are more like timeouts and watchdogs.

It is clear that the current names lead to a lot of confusion. Maybe:

health -> exception
sensor -> condition
