Health probe will work in backgroud even if you disable it from Azure port

Run following commands to staop health probe from AZ CLI

# tested with Azure CLI v2.57.0
# Note that the Az CLI is a separate tool to Azure PowerShell and must be installed separately

# confirm Az CLI is installed
az version

# log in to Azure
az login

# optional - if you have access to multiple subscriptions, set the subscription that your Front Door profile is in
az account set --subscription "SUBSCRIPTION ID"

# confirm you are looking at the intended origin group
# check the details match the origin group you're looking at in the portal.
az afd origin-group show -g "RESOURCE GROUP NAME" --profile-name "CDN PROFILE NAME" --origin-group-name "ORIGIN GROUP NAME"

# remove the health probe
# this will take a minute or two to finish.
az afd origin-group update -g "RESOURCE GROUP NAME" --profile-name "CDN PROFILE NAME" --origin-group-name "ORIGIN GROUP NAME" --remove healthProbeSettings

# safe to close the shell. no need to logout etc.
