Hi Marius, I'm curious what you've found?
One way to go about it is to have alerts (those that look for health status - in SPM we call them Heartbeat alerts) hooked up to a Webhook, where a Webhook is basically your custom HTTP endpoint (or something like Nagios). This should let you integrate health status checks into the rest of your monitoring infra.
