You have to set it in a config that goes in your .ebextensions folder. This article is useful: https://github.com/ThoughtWorksStudios/eb_deployer/wiki/Elastic-Beanstalk-Tips-and-Tricks

like this

$ cat .ebextensions/0090_healthcheckurl.config 
Resources:
   AWSEBAutoScalingGroup:
     Type: "AWS::AutoScaling::AutoScalingGroup"
     Properties:
       HealthCheckType: "ELB"
       HealthCheckGracePeriod: "600"
option_settings:
  - namespace:  aws:elasticbeanstalk:application
    option_name:  Application Healthcheck URL
    value:  /_status
