     - **metric_id**, this will be used to store the latency of the API. If this is not set, it will be ignored.
-    - **update_status**, boolean to decide if the component status should be changed in case of a check failure.
+    - **action**, the action to be done when one of the expectations fails. This is optional and if left blank, nothing will be done to the component.

+        - **UPDATE_STATUS**, updates the component status
 - **frequency**, how often we'll send a request to the given URL. The unit is in seconds.
