The current implementation of CamelHealthIndicator[1] only verifies that the CamelContext is started not the state of the routes.
I guess a improvement could be to allow for a property that lists a number of routes by routeId and add logic to also check the state of the routes to decide the status. Something like camel.health.validate.routes=route1,route2 Validating all routes in the context by default is not an option since there might be routes that are intentionally stopped and as far as I can remember there is no way to see the reason that the route was stopped. However since it is very easy to create your own HealthIndicator an option would be to just do that and add the validation of the routes you know has to be started.
