### Database Schema
- **NetworkHealthEvent**: Tracks network health status changes with metadata
- **Automatic Cleanup**: HealthEventCleanup maintains optimal database size
- **Reporting Ready**: Schema designed for health analytics and reporting

## Configuration Files
- `config/health_monitoring.exs`: Health check intervals, thresholds, and database settings
- `config/event_listeners.exs`: Event listener configuration and deduplication settings
- `config/upstream_networks.exs`: Network routing and connection configuration

## Migration Files
- `20250926050000_create_network_health_events.exs`: Database schema for health event logging

## Usage Notes

### For Developers
1. Review phase documentation in chronological order for complete understanding
2. Check configuration files for customizable parameters
3. Use health monitoring APIs for operational visibility

### For Operations
1. Monitor health event statistics via `HealthEventLogger.get_statistics/0`
2. Configure cleanup intervals based on reporting requirements
3. Use `UpstreamHealthMonitor.get_health_status/0` for real-time network status

### For Maintenance
1. Database cleanup runs automatically via `HealthEventCleanup`
2. Health check intervals are configurable per environment
3. Circuit breaker thresholds can be tuned for different network characteristics
