Hello, I think this could be usefull in this scenario:
Instead of creating 3 healthchecks for three different services/servers
You could use the same token across multiple servers/scripts
And add a failure message that you could send, just like $NAME, $STATUS, a $MESSAGE could be sent.

This could be limited/truncated to 20 chars, it doesn't have to be very long, so the database won't get clogged. and maybe strip non a-Z + 0-9 + dash characters for the safety of other integrations where messages end up.

Another use case is: RAM/DISK, where you could pass the percentage.
Or combined, consider a cluster of three machines, that are identical in set-up and serve the same product, you could just copy the same cron/checks including tokens, and pass the machine id/number on a failure.

eg.:
https://fd.dn/ping/token/fail=Sv1-sda2-20pct-free
or
https://fq.dn/ping/token/fail=Sv2-200M-RAM

Actually, i'm inserting warning or critical tags on the service from the check, seems enough in a way...
