Hallo Everybody
I have tested ELK for Log File Analysis which is working good. Now i want to use it for application heartbeat monitoring. Here is my scenario.
I have 20 different Web applications which are mostly running in IIS. I want to use ELK to ping the websites or specific web pages periodically to check either it return a good HTTP Status? Is it possible with ELK or X-Pack Monitoring?
If ELK is not suitable for that, which other tool is better to use for this purpose? i have google and found few of them but they are SaaS (Cloud Services). I am interested in something which i can host in my test Environment.
So any idea??
Thanks in Advance

You could try the new [Heartbeat Beat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/index.html), which is expressly for that purpose.
