Description

The following element gives admin the ability to enable/disable a solr instance without taking it down

  <admin>
    <defaultQuery>solr</defaultQuery>

    <!-- configure a healthcheck file for servers behind a loadbalancer
    -->
    <healthcheck type="file">server-enabled</healthcheck>
  </admin>

There is a problem with where the file 'server-enabled' is placed. Currently it appears that file is relative to the place where the server is stared. This causes trouble to deployment since theoretically the server could be started anywhere. My suggestion is to have the file relative to solr home so that it does not dependent on where the server is started.
