Research direction
Examine existing health checks like SqlServerHealthCheck in the repository (e.g., src/HealthChecks.SqlServer). Understand the pattern of implementing IHealthCheck, creating options, and registering via extension methods. Then install the IBM.Data.Db2 NuGet package and implement a similar check for DB2. Finally, create a pull request with the new health check and related tests.
