Monitoring URL links

the easiest way is to set up an Availability Test in an Application Insights instance:

If you need to monitor the endpoint from a VM, you can also use Connection Monitor:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/network-watcher/connection-monitor-preview
You can then create Azure Monitor alerts based on the results of any of the approaches above.
hspintoI had a look at the article, I would like to clarify one thing, the article is mentioning this
Create a URL ping test
To create your first availability request, open the Availability pane and select Create Test.
Once, I will create the availability test for the specified website, under application insights, will I get an alert via email, if the HTTP is unavailable for the specified website.

as I mentioned earlier, after creating the Availability Test, you'll have to set up the alert to execute the required action, e.g., sending you an e-mail.
Once the test is created, you can use the context menu to configure the alert rule.
In the alert configuration blade, you'll have to create an action group to send you an e-mail whenever the alert fires/resolves. More details here.
