 --- | --- | --- | ---
+**`statusCheck`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | When set to `true`, Dashy will ping each of your services and display their status as a dot next to each item. This can be overridden by setting `statusCheck` under each item. Defaults to `false`
+**`statusCheckInterval`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | The number of seconds between checks. If set to `0` then service will only be checked on initial page load, which is usually the desired functionality. If value is less than `10` you may experience a hit in performance. Defaults to `0`
 **`backgroundImg`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Path to an optional full-screen app background image. This can be either remote (http) or local (/). Note that this will slow down initial load
 **`enableFontAwesome`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Where `true` is enabled, if left blank font-awesome will be enabled only if required by 1 or more icons
 **`fontAwesomeKey`** | `string` | _Optional_ | If you have a font-awesome key, then you can use it here and make use of premium icons. It is a 10-digit alpha-numeric string from you're FA kit URL  (e.g. `13014ae648`)

 **`target`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The opening method for when the item is clicked, either `newtab`, `sametab` or `iframe`. Where `newtab` will open the link in a new tab, `sametab` will open it in the current tab, and `iframe` will open a pop-up modal with the content displayed within that iframe. Note that for the iframe to load, you must have set the CORS headers to either allow `*` ot allow the domain that you are hosting Dashy on, for some websites and self-hosted services, this is already set.
+**`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`
 **`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
