Any chance you are going to implement non http(s) Outbound probes? Not everything is http so a generic TCP connection check would be great.

edit: Is it possible to add services in an automated fashion with an API?

Hmm, both are "possible but not implemented yet". The engineering approach that some of our users do is running their own custom monitoring script (checking TCP connections, checking against a dynamic list) on their own infrastructure, and then just use Heii On-Call to monitor (via Inbound Liveness heartbeats / checkins) and alert on (via Manual trigger type) that custom monitoring script. Feel free to email us at support-at-domain so we can try to understand the use case better.
