I've just notice something here during testing.

Refer to the comment below.

I think this should "goto end" and NOT followed by an update to the
last counter and time since this makes two health_check return
respectively BAD and OK.

Considering two health check made by let say two applications or/and
users, the second one will indicate a good health which is not true.

Cheers!
