Every time I run this, I receive the output "Unhealthy" and a 503 status code.

Are you able to call the actual endpoint and get a response?

I’m not entirely sure that I understand the question. Here is what I see: From: Mark J.

Okay, so just before the Implementing advanced features for web services section that is online only was the client HTTP section. I assume you were therefore able to call the the actual endpoint and get a response, for example, the HTTP client could call: GET https://localhost:5002/api/customers/?country=UK and the response was returned. Therefore the endpoint is working. If you then added the package for health checks and the Web API service is returning 503 Unhealthy then it's is "lying" in some way. After getting 503, try changing the address box to: https://localhost:5002/api/customers/?country=UK and see what response you get and please screenshot that.

Yes, so the endpoint is actually healthy but the Microsoft health check thinks that it not. I don't know why. I'll see if I can research why that might be.
