Research direction
Examine the existing CPU and memory health checks in the Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks.ResourceUtilization package to understand the pattern. Look at the repository's source code for examples of how health checks are implemented and registered. The issue requests adding network usage checks, so research how to obtain network usage metrics on different platforms (e.g., Windows, Linux) and integrate them into the existing health check framework.
