Why is this going under iproute rather than using one of the existing sensor API's.
For example Intel NIC's have thermal sensors etc.

Hi Stephen

These are not that sort of sensors. This is part of the naming problem
here. It is not really to do with health, it is about exceptions and
bugs. And the sensors are more like timeouts and watchdogs.

It is clear that the current names lead to a lot of confusion. Maybe:

health -> exception
sensor -> condition

I think those names renaming can work well.
