Description

I have a dashboard that allows me to monitor http services and show me whether they're up or down depending on the status code they send. Sadly this only works with status codes so I have to translate the tcp data the server sends into an http code somehow.

It'd be cool if you were to make an option to monitor a server and open an http server that sends either 200 when the mc server is online or 500 when it isn't.

Thanks for reading. If there already is something like that please tell me. Never worked with prometheus or telegraf before

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement an HTTP endpoint that returns 200 if the Minecraft server is online, 500 otherwise. Use the existing monitoring logic to determine status.
