Following on to the discussion earlier this week, I wanted to kick off a discussion about how to implement one part we discussed, which is to make health checks something that lava natively understands and knows how to do, rather than just a lump of jobs scheduled daily from cron.  Here are my thoughts, and I&#39;ll let you decide how much it&#39;s crack.<br>

<br>1. extend the scheduler model for devices? to add a text blob for storing a health check job<br>  - downside is that we would have add one of these for every single board<br>  - maybe it makes sense to do this for device type instead and have the scheduler just start it on the proper board?<br>

  - we should make sure that these jobs use a locally downloadable, complete image<br>2. at the beginning of every day, if the board is NOT in offline or going offline state, insert this job into the queue for the board<br>

  - Is there a good way to do this automatically with some internal mechanism - not cron from the outside?<br>3. Link the result of this job to the health check stuff already in progress<br><br>thoughts? suggestions?<br>
