Server alive sensor?

So what sensor should I setup to get a proper "Server is alive"?

Solution:

the only reliable way I think is to use the "homeassistant/sensor/<device>/availability" mqtt topic as HASS.Agent uses it as last will message

I really just want a boolean value, not like Unavailable.

Makes sense.
