StatusOK currently features notifications via Slack, SMTP email, Mailgun, and HTTP EndPoint. And of course being that it is on GitHub, you can also add support yourself for other clients. You can save data to InfluxDB and view response times over a period of time as above using Grafana. Because it is self-hosted you won't have multiple locations to test from, but you could easily fire up a cheap DigitalOcean, Linode, or Vultr VPS and run this on it, separate from your current web stack.
