 **`tags`** | `string[]` | _Optional_ | A list of tags, which can be used for improved search
 **`statusCheck`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | When set to `true`, Dashy will ping the URL associated with the current service, and display its status as a dot next to the item. The value here will override `appConfig.statusCheck` so you can turn off or on checks for a given service. Defaults to `appConfig.statusCheck`, falls back to `false`
-**`statusCheckUrl`** | `string` | _Optional_ | If you've enabled `statusCheck`, and want to use a different URL to what is defined under the item, then specify it here
+**`statusCheckEndpoint`** | `string` | _Optional_ | If you've enabled `statusCheck`, and want to use a different URL to what is defined under the item, then specify it here
 **`statusCheckHeaders`** | `object` | _Optional_ | If you're endpoint requires any specific headers for the status checking, then define them here 
 **`statusCheckAllowInsecure`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | By default, any request to insecure content will be blocked. Setting this option to `true` will disable the `rejectUnauthorized` option, enabling you to ping non-HTTPS services for the current item. Defaults to `false`
+**`statusCheckPingOnly`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Instead of sending a HTTP request, this option will use a simple ping to your app (useful for servers that don't resolve any content)
 **`color`** | `string` | _Optional_ | An optional color for the text and font-awesome icon to be displayed in. Note that this will override the current theme and so may not display well
 **`backgroundColor`** | `string` | _Optional_ | An optional background fill color for the that given item. Again, this will override the current theme and so might not display well against the background
 **`provider`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The name of the provider for a given service, useful for when including hosted apps. In some themes, this is visible under the item name
