@Dam Mad this is not possible to currently do that in signoz. SigNoz is designed to be a backend to analyse data sent to it. You can either create some metrics at your application and send it to signoz or you can use blackbox exporter to do many of such similar tasks and let signoz's otel-collector-metrics scrape the metrics at blackbox exporter in a prometheus way.

it would be great if you could create an issue for this. If many people need that, we might implement it native to signoz
SigNoz is an open-source APM. It helps developers monitor their applications & troubleshoot problems, an open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc.
