I have created a simple web service that receives data and saves it in a database. I need to create an application (or service) that will test the connection to this web service (from time to time, e.g. every 1 minute).
I need information like download, upload, ping and save them in the database. I tried NetworkInterface, but the web service is not an interface, so it cannot find it. I don’t know how to test this connection and get information about it, so I need help.

Method 1
Solution 1: fully custom
High level description:
- Create a new endpoint , something like api/healthcheck
- Either
a. do a mock action (save/delete false data
b. Maintain a table or any other persistence (even a singleton would do) with statistics from recent calls - Add them to a class response object and return it to the caller.
Solution 2: Use custom telemetry
High level description:
- Pick a service like application insight: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/app-insights-overview
- Configure the telemetry if the out of the box configuration isn’t enough.
- Use the rest api to get your information
