Add a notification when a bouncer/CAPI/LAPI is not reachable

[Eirikr70]

What would you like to be added?

/kind enhancement

Crowdsec manages notifications. A notification would be triggered when a bouncer/CAPI/LAPI results unreachable.

Why is this needed?

That alert would help making sure that the system is fully operational.

Hey its a good idea but the way the current notification system is setup it would involve a vast amount of work to get something like this off the ground, not to mention how would you configure it maybe a notifications.yaml but then it may get confusing for end users.

Will leave issue open if anyone is driven enough to implement it as currently the CrowdSec team is working on these types of notifications from the console side.

Couldn't you just add a paragraph in the yaml already in use in the notifications directory?

No, because the directory is solely used for alerts, if we wanted to use the same directory we would have to have a way to distinguish between templates like a apply_on hook or filter cause at the moment the notifications is only used in alerts.
