```csharp
public bool LivenessEnabled
```

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the silo liveness protocol is enabled (should be disabled only for testing). If a silo is suspected to be down, but this property is set to `false`, the suspicions will not be propagated to the system or enforced. This property is intended for use only for testing and troubleshooting. In production, liveness should always be enabled.

### Value

Liveness is enabled by default.
