Hey,

I've tried to search and figure out the correct setup for this monitor but I can't figure it out. Help would be appreciated.

I've two remote servers. On server 1 I've Ubuntu with Docker running Uptime Kuma. On server 2 I've Home Assistant which I access via a domain e.g. https://myhassserver.uk/ (example domain not the real one)

I want to create a monitor in Uptime Kuma for the Home Assistant server via the domain but I'm failing to figure out how to do this.

What I've tried is a monitor type of HTTP(s) with the domain but I get a 403 error, Forbidden response.

Can anyone help me on how I'm meant to setup a monitor like this?

Many Thanks

403 forbidden usually means you are not allowed to access this site because the credentials you provided are not valid ,(assuming correct usage by HA)

Yep that bit I get, but I'm not trying to access it/login (I'd assume). I'm only trying to check the page loads, in this case the login page. Would it need access/login to get a 200?

If I go to my domain I don't get a 403, I get the login page.

Worth noting I tried adding a monitor for a site like:
https://www.cloudflare.com
and it works fine. Which to me confirms Uptime Kuma can access the internet okay.

Please make sure that you have your ip banning configured correctly.
See https://community.home-assistant.io/t/solved-out-of-the-blue-now-i-get-403-forbidden/324107

See https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/wiki/Troubleshooting#uptime-kuma-reports-down-but-the-service-can-be-accessed
=> please try to reproduce this behaviour and see what the endpoint is really responding with

Would it need access/login to get a 200

It seems to require correct credentials.
I don't have a HA instance to test on, it also depends on what endpoint you are using.
To be on the same page: you are using "System Health" to get the status?

Argh! I've found the issue. I forgot my Cloudflare setup blocked IPs which weren't based in a specific country. Which my server is NOT! So I've had to allow the IP on cloudflare and now it works. Totally forgot I did that! Oops.
