+
+As of `v1.0.7` the zrok Agent supports health checks for `proxy` backend shares. Backend health checks are not yet implemented for other backend modes.
+
+## Local Agent Health Checks
+
+With an Agent running in your environment, create a share:
+
+```
+$ zrok share public http://127.0.0.1:18080
+token:"8rvjpmeeyvwc"  frontendEndpoints:"http://8rvjpmeeyvwc.zrok.example.com:8080"
+```
+
+Then the new `zrok agent share http-healthcheck` command can be used to validate that the Agent is able to communicate with the backend target:
+
+```
+$ zrok agent share http-healthcheck 8rvjpmeeyvwc GET / 200
+healthy
+```
+
+A non-existent endpoint will return a non-`200` response:
+```
+$ zrok agent share http-healthcheck 8rvjpmeeyvwc GET /non-existent 200
+unhealthy; unexpected status code; got '202', want '200'
+```
+
+### Detecting Communications Errors
+
+This health check infrastructure will report any issue communicating with the underlying backend target, including low-level communication errors:
+
+```
+$ zrok share public http://127.1.1.1:9090
+token:"2bfvnne6kb3c"  frontendEndpoints:"http://2bfvnne6kb3c.zrok.quigley.com:8080"
+
+$ zrok agent share http-healthcheck 2bfvnne6kb3c GET / 200
+unhealthy; failed to execute request: Get "http://127.1.1.1:9090/": dial tcp 127.1.1.1:9090: connect: connection refused
+```
+
+## Remoted Agent Health Checks
+
+When your Agent is remoted and accessible through the zrok API, you can use the `/agent/share/http-healthcheck` endpoint to remotely check your Agent's connectivity to the backend target:
+
+```
+$ curl -H "X-TOKEN: 5hLXj48Bmn11" -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/zrok.v1+json" -d '{"envZId": "MxMbUXSANU", "shareToken": "8rvjpmeeyvwc", "httpVerb": "GET", "endpoint": "/", "expectedHttpResponse": 200}' http://localhost:18080/api/v1/agent/share/http-healthcheck | jq

+{
+  "healthy": true
+}
+```
+
+A non-existent health check URL will return a non-`200` response:
+```
+$ curl -H "X-TOKEN: 5hLXj48Bmn11" -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/zrok.v1+json" -d '{"envZId": "MxMbUXSANU", "shareToken": "8rvjpmeeyvwc", "httpVerb": "GET", "endpoint": "/non-existent", "expectedHttpResponse": 200}' http://localhost:18080/api/v1/agent/share/http-healthcheck | jq  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
