App Gateway can't probe authenticated health check endpoint and get 200 Ok status

	@swagger_route(security=get_auth_security())
	@swagger_route()

The /external/healthcheck endpoint requires authentication, which is fine for the app service's health check but not compatible with Azure App Gateway probes, which require an unauthenticated endpoint. Without an unauthenticated endpoint available the probe has to be configured to consider a 401 or 403 error as "Healthy".

Is there a reason why the external health check was configured to be authenticated vs. non-authenticated? If you prefer keeping /external/healthcheck authenticated, would the team be open to adding a very basic and optional second health check route & function that is not authenticated (/external/healthcheckz) to support services like Azure App Gateway like the example below?

def register_route_app_gateway_health(app):
 @enabled_required("enable_external_healthcheck")
 @app.route(/external/healthcheckz', methods=['GET'])
 def app_gateway_health():
 return {
 "status": "ok"
 }, 200
