🏷️ Feature Request Type

Change to existing monitor

🔖 Feature description

It would be helpful if we can append a random string to URL to potentially bypass web cache.

For example:
https://www.example.com/wp-cron?doing_cron=[RAND_STRING]

✔️ Solution

Inline tags as part of the URL being monitored that can be interpreted / parsed by the monitor.

OR

Additional field to append GET parameters with option to generate random string / number / Unix timestamp while executing the monitor.

❓ Alternatives

I cannot think of any alternate to this approach.

📝 Additional Context

This will be helpful when I need to monitor (or call) as URL but make sure that the results are not cached.

This could be easilly done. Just needing to ajust the URL called by Uptime Kuma by replacing [UNIX_TIME] with the current UNIX timestamp, or something like that.
