How to minimize Kong Active Health Check Frequency

As it is mentioned in the documentation -
“There is no cluster-wide synchronization of health information: each Kong node determines the health of its targets separately”.
Then I think the only way to have less no of requests to target, is changes in following healthy and unhealthy configurations:

  1. healthchecks.active.concurrency
  2. healthchecks.active.healthy.interval
  3. healthchecks.active.unhealthy.interval

Do we have any other way to reduce the active health check frequency as the target gets bombarded with so many requests (which we want to avoid) ?

Please suggest.
