It seems to me the cli output is too noisy, too much information.
example snapshot:

It's hard to digest and see whats happenign at a glance. There's too much information. Some information are multiline and redundant
Perhaps we can clean it up a bit. For instance:
2021-04-18T04:52:44.817Z, id:1, 200 http://worldtimeapi.org/api/ip, 320ms
2021-04-18T04:52:45.711Z, id:0, 200 https://github.com, 1609ms ALERT!
2021-04-18T04:52:50.067Z, id:1, 500 http://worldtimeapi.org/api/ip, 947ms ALERT!
2021-04-18T04:52:50.982Z, id:0, 401 https://github.com/auth, 1893ms ALERT! Service is probaby down
Everything you need to know is on a single line. Alerts highlight the trigger (response code or resposne time) and a flag "ALERT!"
[ time ], [ id ], [ status ], [ url ], [ response time ], [ALERT flag if any] [ INFO additional status if any ]
When there's nothing to report merely output
2021-04-18T04:52:44.817Z, id:1, 200 http://somedomain.com/api/, 320ms
2021-04-18T04:52:45.711Z, id:0, 200 https://github.com, 109ms
Here's what it may look like with alerts.
