I like https://www.statuscake.com/ for this and their free plan is
sufficient. I'm not affiliated with them, I just like the service. It
constantly checks for a response from both the Dir and OR ports of my
relays, using monitoring endpoints around the world, and notifies me
of downtime. It also has a nice feature where it can look for a
specific response from the Dir port (i.e, parse
http://relay1.example.com/tor/server/authority and make sure the
fingerprint matches).
