description:
 Monitors {rq-workers-running} from {/api/status/}, i.e. how many RQ worker
 processes NetBox currently sees. This is the single most important NetBox
 check: with no worker running, NetBox silently stops executing data source
 syncs, custom scripts, event rules/webhooks and bulk operations, while the web
 UI keeps looking perfectly healthy.

 The default is {CRIT} below one worker. Levels are configurable via the rule
 "NetBox RQ worker count".

 Unlike the "NetBox Queue" and "NetBox Worker" services, this check needs no
 superuser token - {/api/status/} is readable by any authenticated user.

discovery:
 One service per host, as soon as NetBox reported a worker count.
