I was looking for a way to monitor valheim with uptime kuma which is not (yet?) possible with Uptime Kuma.
But I found a workaround which could help a few people.

I've installed nginx on my valheim server.
I've added a cronjob which checks every minute if the process is running and post a 1 into a html file, if not echo a 0 into it.

* * * * * if [ $(pidof ./valheim_server.x86_64) ]; then echo 1 > /var/www/html/index.html; else echo 0 > /var/www/html/index.html;fi

Then I used the HTTP(s) Keyword request to look for a 1 at given address.

Note: If this "Issue" isnt valid just delete it.
