Not sure why you're getting downvoted, personally I agree.
For example:
- a frequent/simple check dealing directly (on the internal network) with the webserver ("does it work well yes/no, what's the raw response time, etc..."). Here is where I would definitely use "curl".
- another less frequent test involving as well the DNS and the external network.
- another end-to-end test (e.g. once every 10 minutes?) involving as well one or more real browsers (this would test as well for example revoked SSL certs).
=> all these infos/metrics should be quite helpful to identify problems, or at least to shrink the potential area that is causing it.
