I am looking to monitor *arr 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.

I have prowlarr set up to handle indexers, and I see under settings -> notifications you can add a telegram bot. I don't know for sure but I suspect that if you did that and mark notify on health problems, it would probably watch for downstream *Arrs?

I'm basing that guess on the discord bot I have set up on sonarr and radarr, which watches my download clients and alerts me when they're down

It looks like Prowlarr health checks doesn't cover downstream apps: https://wiki.servarr.com/prowlarr/system#health

I have all the *Arrs currently notifying Telegram with their own notification systems. The problem I am trying to solve is, what if the application itself goes down. I am also looking for something that monitors more than *Arr apps.

For ex: Prowlarr application(exe) somehow gets killed. Then Prowlarr itself cant send notifications with its built in system, right? So, something external needs to monitor either the exe(process) or the webpage(HTTP request) or the port that can then send the notification that Prowlarr is down or not responding.

I hope this explains the issue better.
