Hello,
is IT possible to Monitor the fb from an external Server? So i can get notified once the fb is offline or having trouble of any kind?

The exporter is designed to run on a second machine (e.g. not on the FritzBox itself) so you get that by default. As per Prometheus best practice the exporter provides a up gauge metric which will be set to 0 in case of connection (or any other fatal) failure.

I know, but is it possible to do so from "external" so over the internet so get messaged if the FB is "offline" kind of?

You would have to make the FritzBox interface accessible to whatever external system you want to scrape it from. While that is definitely possible I would not recommend it.
