I mean, I need to monitor the state of the http

You can use blackbox_exporter to monitor if a http is returning 200, or some specific content.

I had been thinking about options for monitoring our APIs, doing things
like loggin which require multiple complicated http calls.

The furtherest I've got so far is thinking about using newman [1] (part
of postman) running in a container. You could call it much like
blackbox_exporter with the URL of a postman collection and it would return
standard promethus data.

But I've not even started to try and make this work, sorry.

I forgot to add that a simplied way to do this would be to run newman
seperately and then just dump a nice version of the output to a file for a
node-exporter to make availbale.
