Uptime docs don't mention whether HTTP status code is checked

Uptime looks useful and I've configured it, but by far the most common problem my server experiences is MariaDB crashing, but leaving the web server up and running.
I think in these circumstances the web server should be throwing a 50x, but it's not clear from the docs whether the Uptime product would consider that a failure worthy of an alert.

Hi Alex, the http and https checks are explained in more detail on the "How to Create Checks" page here:
Any response code outside of the 200–299 "success" range will count as a failure, so yes: a 500 response would show as downtime, and alert if you've set up downtime alerts.
