[REQUEST] Add option for pings to Monitor about glance HOT 8 OPEN

hey,
i am encountering the same issue (or one like @danmed).

I have a few services listed, with a valid let's encrypt certificate, where everything is shown as fine.
But when it is a self signed certificate the check failes.

example one
Get "domain.com": tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate relies on legacy Common Name field, use SANs instead

example two
Get "domain2.com": tls: failed to veryfy certificate: x509: certificate is valid for localhost, not domain2.com

I think it would be great to have some kind of toggle to accept insecure certificates.

ill go back and set up the monitor again.. i removed it because i realised i just wanted bookmarks.. uptime-kuma is already monitoring things for me..

Ill get back to you

Yeah, hard agree. Especially in environments where you have your own root authority.

Hey, thanks for providing feedback!

One issue with pinging is that it typically requires root privileges which is something I wouldn't want to involve for an application that simply aggregates data from a bunch of HTTP requests. This leaves me with having to call the OS native ping command and parse the result, however since I want to maintain cross OS compatibility I have to potentially parse 3 different outputs.

I'm not entirely sure what the best way to go about this is for the time being, I'll have to give it some thought.

Appreciate the reply and your consideration... maybe a way to customise the response code that means it's all good? for example when i try and add my home assistant instance it fails (yet clicking the link actually shows it's all fine...)

In what way does it fail? Can you check what the error is by hovering over the red "ERROR" text? There should also be an error in your logs.

Backend services like MySQL cannot accept HTTP requests; their availability can only be confirmed through ping.

The Go language has a pro-ping library, which can send ping using three different protocols: icmp, udp, and http.
