Feature Request: PUSH/HEARTBEAT monitor support

[botagas]

Currently, this only seems to support GET/POST requests from the Worker, but you can't fetch a HTTP(s) URL to update your uptime status that way.
I was hoping to monitor my homelab and router by pinging from them to update their alive status.

Is there a way to accomplish this here maybe that I am not aware of?

You're looking for a so-called "heartbeat" mode of monitoring, it's not available now in UptimeFlare, since pinging a Worker will consume too many KV writes and exceed free daily limit. Also, KV writes can take up to 1 minute to sync around the world, which may cause false alerts.

The good news is, I am working on migrating UptimeFlare storage backend to Cloudflare D1 for better consistency, and D1 offers 100k writes/day for free (100x compared to 1k writes/day in KV). Heartbeat mode should be feasible after that, the only minor issue might be that heartbeat monitoring doesn't allow for ping charts.

I'm now working on prior feature requests and fixing bugs, but if anyone else is interested in this feature, please let me know via emoji response, I may implement the most-wanted features first. 😉
