Possibility to select, whether API monitoring is done directly or via Proxy #3732

Background

Currently, when an API is connected to a Proxy, it is possible to set Monitoring on. It means, that a HTTP GET request is sent once in an hour to given endpoint via API's Host URL.

Problem

When GET request is sent directly to API's host, it is possible, that there are problems with the Proxy, but it is not seen in Monitoring. Also, in case Monitoring were always done via Proxy, in error case it would not separate the source of problem, either in API or Proxy.

Solution

Add possibility to select whether the GET request is sent via Proxy or direct to API. That way in problem case the API admin can easily pinpoint the error source by changing the route.
