CacheBuster

I have a question, I would like to know if a feature exists in uptime kuma

I use many layers of cache in some applications, which often do not even respect the cache header, I would like to know if there is any way to pass some parameter "nocache=current_timestamp" in the url dynamically?
I use this in the uptime robot, I believe that if I don't have this functionality I will develop it.

example from uptime robot

Uptime Robot will auto-replace the string:

cachebuster
in the querystring with a unique timestamp every time so that each request is unique.

As an example, if the website to be monitored is:

https://mywebsitetomonitor.com
We can use the URL as:

https://mywebsitetomonitor.com/?cachebuster
and the request will have a different querystring each time.

Hope this helps for a better uptime.
