Feature request: Notifications for hostname monitoring.

[EPP-KMD]

It would be useful if hostname monitoring could set up a way to notify the user if the hostname is down, eg. e-mail or add a webhook that can be triggered by it. It would be useful to have something that will notify us the site is down without using third-party tools, and hostname monitoring seems like it's already halfway there.

Hi, and thanks a lot for the suggestion! This is something we’re already aware of and see as part of a broader alerting feature we’d like to add.

In the meantime, you might find it useful to take advantage of the ASP.NET Core Health Checks feature and ping that endpoint. From there, you can validate everything you need and, if something isn’t right, trigger a webhook or send an email directly from your solution. This approach should cover most scenarios—except, of course, if the entire site is down.

We actually just had our whole corporate website go down after a failed umbraco autoupgrade in the night, that's the exact reason why I made this request 😅
