- status_info Host health status info.
-.status string Aggregated status from all Checks, which are part of this entity.

Represents system status of a particular check. Value is one of:
OK: The check is successful, i.e. the entity can transition to the target state.
WAIT: The check is still running. Check the {#member CheckStatus.waitDuration} to see the expected wait time.
NOT_OK: The check has failed, i.e. the entity is not ready to transition to the target state. Any reported issues in the {#member CheckStatus.issues} field need to resolved.

-.wait_duration long If status value is WAIT the duration in miliseconds to wait before issuing status check again.

Optional. It is only relevant when status has value WAIT. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of status is WAIT.

-.check_statuses check_status[] List of CheckStatus objects for all Checks, which were executed and did NOT return an OK Status.

-.check_statuses[].info check_info Information about the check.

-.check_statuses[].info.check string The check ID.

When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.esx.health.check. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.esx.health.check.

-.check_statuses[].info.name localizable_message The check name.

-.check_statuses[].info.name.id string Unique identifier of the localizable string or message template.

This identifier is typically used to retrieve a locale-specific string or message template from a message catalog.

-.check_statuses[].info.name.default_message string The value of this localizable string or message template in the en_US (English) locale. If vapi.std.localizable_message.id refers to a message template, the default message will contain the substituted arguments. This value can be used by clients that do not need to display strings and messages in the native language of the user. It could also be used as a fallback if a client is unable to access the appropriate message catalog.

-.check_statuses[].info.name.args string[] Positional arguments to be substituted into the message template. This list will be empty if the message uses named arguments or has no arguments.
