Everything considering improving and creating new monitors as it can be acheived by this (till an actual implementation is done)

🏷️ Feature Request Type

New monitor

🔖 Feature description

A custom monitor which runs a command in the server and decides the state based on the output

✔️ Solution

I want a custom monitor which will allow me to run a command in the server and based on the exit code (or output ) the monitor will change its state. Preferably the output of the command will be sent in the notification and be noted down

❓ Alternatives

Presently I have to create a lightweight python http server to do the same and use uptime kuma to do the monitoring which is very tedious.

📝 Additional Context

I (and supposedly many others) sometime needs custom monitoring solution, its very difficult for developers to maintain and update such many monitoring types. Every thing that we need can be done using a terminal so why not create a monitor to run those commands?
Features=>
A very complex logic for monitoring: ✅
A service / protocol which is not supported:✅
A propitiatory thing:✅
Anything too hectic to maintain: ✅
Rejected monitors: ✅
Most of not implemented / under work monitors:✅ (for those who need it fast)
