How to detect:

The tailscaled_health_messages gauge shows non-zero health messages, with type labels such as 'warning'. This indicates the Tailscale client has detected connectivity, configuration, or operational issues.

Recommended action:

Run 'tailscale status' to collect detailed health message information. Monitor tailscaled_health_messages metric and alert when count increases. Investigate warnings related to connectivity, certificate expiration, or subnet router configuration.
