 ## [unreleased]
 ### Added
 - [#6448](https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/issues/6448) Added `status` and `lastPoll` fields to the `publish/CrStates` endpoint of Traffic Monitor (TM).
+- Added back to the health-client the `status` field logging with the addition of the filed to `publish/CrStates`
 - Added a new Traffic Ops endpoint to `GET` capacity and telemetry data for CDNi integration.
 - Added a Traffic Ops endpoints to `PUT` a requested configuration change for a full configuration or per host and an endpoint to approve or deny the request.
 - Traffic Monitor config option `distributed_polling` which enables the ability for Traffic Monitor to poll a subset of the CDN and divide into "local peer groups" and "distributed peer groups". Traffic Monitors in the same group are local peers, while Traffic Monitors in other groups are distibuted peers. Each TM group polls the same set of cachegroups and gets availability data for the other cachegroups from other TM groups. This allows each TM to be responsible for polling a subset of the CDN while still having a full view of CDN availability. In order to use this, `stat_polling` must be disabled.
