HTTP Health check backend

We have several backends behind microgateway & edge cloud.

Say we have service A, B, & C

Each of the service has /ping endpoint that previously we use to do health check.

So previously, our API gateway (not apigee) periodically send a request to "/ping", and after certain treshold if /ping does not give HTTP 200, it will mark the service as "unhealthy"

That particular API gateway has a health check management endpoint, where we can hit that endpoint and find out the status of A, B, & C. For "unhealthy" services, we can then send a slack message or email.

It seems apigee does not have this capability for backend health check?

It does not have to be exact same, but we need something to resemble this functionality.

Any idea? Older posts on apigee community refers to something called "probe" or "health.apigee.com", but the links are dead.

Thanks
