How I would automate monitoring DNS queries in basic Prometheus
https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter/blob/master/...
So you need 2 modules, one for each ip version. As for autamating setting these up, we deploy our Prometheus server with salt so we can use Jinja templating in all our Prometheus config files. That really cuts down on repeating boiler plate code.
This is also interesting for other reasons; in host downtime situations you can sometime see they will drop one type of traffic and not the other.

Uptime monitoring (~1000 urls)
You could use prometheus as a monitoring tool, blackbox_exporter to "export" the urls to prometheus, alertmanager for notifications, and grafana for nice gui dashboards (and maybe also notifications).

Network pIng or "is it up?" like testing utility with reporting via gotify or email
Personally, I use have Prometheus with Blackbox exporter to create metrics for sites I need to monitor. Grafana then uses Prometheus as a data source, so I can monitor the data. I've also set up email alerts in Grafana.
