Hi everyone!

Is it possible to set up healthchecks, so instead of listening for a ping it would ping web services itself and see if they're online and responding?

Thanks for the suggestion. There are services that do exactly that and do it well -- UptimeRobot, StatusCake, Pingdom etc.

At least for time being I would like to keep healthchecks focused on monitoring regular tasks and sending alerts when the pings stop.

@cuu508 Again big thanks for mentioning those services. I chose StatusCake and used the free account tests to incorporate webhooks to my healthchecks-instance. Thus not only achieving what I wanted but also creating kind of a Telegram integration to StatusCake 👍

Did you work with Icinga yet? Looks like a possible self-hosted solution to StatusCake to me. Maybe gonna try it soon.
