An incredibly powerful free tool that has been around a long time is Mikrotik's 'The Dude'. Source: about 1 year ago
If you have a powerful enough router in the network, one of your options is to use The DUDE (Documentation). Note that DUDE requires IP access to WinBox from the management network. For some more features, you should also enable SNMP on your routers. DUDE server can also host a syslog server, so you can have centralized log ingestion.

“The Dude” is what the tool is called (yeah I don’t know why they called it that either). It’s a client-server application and the server nowadays only runs on a Mikrotik router as a separate package. You could use any Mikrotik router but since it’s heavy on logging I use a Mikrotik CHR as a VM just to host the dude. The free CHR license gives you 1Mbps throughput which for SNMP monitoring is plenty. Source: about 2 years ago
MikroTik has a software called The Dude, that runs on some sort of computer acting as a server (an always on computer to receive, monitor, and store the data collected from the statistics).

As a belt and braces approach you could try using something like visualping.io (others are available) to monitor the URL https://recruitment.raf.mod.uk/apply/applying-for?c=15&r=293&type=regular and check when the wording "THIS ROLE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR NEW APPLICATIONS. PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTEREST AND WE WILL BE IN TOUCH WHEN IT REOPENS." disappears, and it will send you an email when it detects a change. Source: about 1 year ago
Also I was using https://visualping.io/ to track the change. Like you can track the change on the button change for that particular page ( like the button being now back in stock instead of grayed out). Source: about 1 year ago
