I am looking to monitor self hosted services that can send notifications to Telegram. Are there any web service monitoring solutions that can be installed on Windows and not installed using Docker?

I checked through awesome-selfhosted and awesome-sysadmin repos and couldn't find one. All the ones I saw were either for Linux or container based.

EDIT: For anyone that comes across this, here is how I resolved this. Thanks to u/dotmatrix for suggesting healthchecks.io

SOLUTION

On the host

  1. Script to check the status of the webpage. Save the file with ps1 extension
$hc= "https://hc-ping.com/<blahblahblah>"
$url = "https://website.com/"
$response = curl $url
if ($response.StatusCode -eq 200) {
    curl $hc
} else {
    curl $hc/fail
}
  1. Set up the above script in Task Scheduler to run every 5 mins

On HealthChecks

  1. Create a check
  2. Create a Telegram integration if you want the notification in a group/direct message/channel: https://healthchecks.io/integrations/add_telegram/
  3. If you want to customize the message or send the message to a topic in a group, you can create a Webhook. Instructions are here: https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/issues/689#issuecomment-1409847685
