SQL Server monitoring support
Describe the feature request
Hi!
It would be awesome to be able to monitor my SQL Server to see if my database is reachable and 'works'. This could be using the ODBC protocol for example. A bit more extensive but Datadog uses this method to collect all their data, in this case I would only need to know if the database 'is alive'.

Why do you personally want this feature to be implemented?
It would be nice to check if the database is alive and is working.
How long have you been using this project?

Not a big fan of proprietary systems. If you can get the ODBC protocol working for mysql/postgres/etc and it happens to also support SQL server, I don't mind the feature, but I don't want to add a feature that only works for a proprietary system.
Understandable, I would be more a fan of a protocol that supports many vendors not just one.
The reason for requesting is a lot of my clients use a variant of Microsoft SQL Server and want to monitor it using a 'uptime' or connectivity tool. I almost always recommend Gatus! This is a missing feature for some of them that makes it hard to check connectivity to the database.
