NetBox HealthCheck Plugin

NetBox provides health check monitors that can be queried to make sure that the service is running in good condition.

NetBox exposes metrics at the /healthcheck HTTP endpoint, e.g. https://netbox.local/healthcheck. It allows monitor conditions via HTTP(S), with responses available in HTML and JSON formats.
