Multiple checks (for Internet link availability testing)

🏷️ Feature Request Type
New Monitor
🔖 Feature description
I have a monitor on an external service to check Internet link availability. If this service is down, my monitor is down but maybe it's just this external service, not my Internet link.
✔️ Solution
It could be nice to have a monitor with multiple checks, for example : google.com AND amazon.com AND apple.com. Less than 3/3 down : monitor is still up, 3/3 down : monitor is down.
❓ Alternatives
Can be a special monitor which checks some others monitors (one monitor for external service 1, one monitor for external service 2, one monitor for external service 3, one last monitor for these 3 monitors).
📝 Additional Context
No response
Why not do a ping/DNS check against a highly available DNS server? Google or Cloudflare dns
I too would love to see a way to detect false-positives. Sometimes, my uptime kuma instance seems to go offline due to the hosting provider having network issues, resulting in all monitors going down. Once it comes back online, I get spammed with alerts regarding the downtime as each service "comes back online", while in reality uptime kuma was the service being down. Therefore, having an option to say "if 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 fail to ping, consider yourself down and don't bother changing monitor states."
Is this one of the duplicates linked to https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/pull/1236?
Looks like it. Thanks for pointing out that PR, didn't find it earlier myself.
@mikolajek-fr We are consolidating duplicate issues a bit to make issue management easier. I think, we should track this issue in #1236 as there is no functional difference (maybe just small naming differences, but nothing that would require a different issue imo) ⇒ I am going to close this as a duplicate.
