Website & API Health Monitoring System with HTTP Status Validation

Description

Website & API Health Monitoring System with HTTP Status Validation

How it works
Performs HTTP health checks on websites and APIs with automatic health status validation
Checks HTTP status codes and analyzes JSON responses for common health indicators
Returns detailed status information including response times and health status
Implements conditional logic to handle different response scenarios
Perfect for monitoring dashboards, alerts, and automated health checks

Set up steps
Deploy the workflow and activate it
Get the webhook URL from the trigger node
Configure your monitoring system to call the webhook endpoint
Send POST requests with target URLs for health monitoring
Receive JSON responses with health status, HTTP codes, and timestamps

Usage
Send POST requests to the webhook URL with target URL parameter
Optionally configure timeout and status expectations in request body
Receive JSON responses with health status, HTTP codes, and timestamps
Perfect for monitoring dashboards, alerts, and automated health checks
Use with external monitoring tools like Nagios, Zabbix, or custom dashboards
Set up scheduled monitoring calls for continuous health validation
Example request: Send POST with {"url": "https://your-site.com", "timeoutMs": 5000}
Success response returns: {"ok": true, "statusCode": 200, "healthStatus": "ok"}
Failure response returns: {"ok": false, "error": "Health check failed", "statusCode": 503}
