Looking to test “downtime” of a website hosted on a vm while doing updates etc anyone have a script / suggestion for something easy to track/record how long the website is down at a time ?

UptimeKuma is free. It's just a docker pull away

Will second this. It does simple monitoring of HTTP response time, status code etc, and can email you with an alert if it's down for 5 minutes on the free tier. I think you can monitor 20 sites for free? Paid tiers get you more monitoring tools, more sites + more notification methods.

The http response codes are very good.... have seen a server ping, but connecting , it has a 500 server side error. By connecting to the http side of things, you verifying the web site is functional /up.

Yep. This is what I tell so many people. An ICMP response just means you can reach the NIC of that device/server, and the NIC is working, and can route a response back to you. It is an important part of a troubleshooting process, and worth monitoring, but it does not mean the device/service is functioning!
