Using JMeter for availability testing

My goal is to fire a thread every 15 minutes to a website with some actions (e.g. intro, choose_language, search_term). Where I will assert using a Response Assertion to check whether the site is available.

Is it possible to schedule JMeter like this from within JMeter itself? Is it possible using any of the timers? I am thinking of starting my script using the Windows Scheduler as a plan B.

I thought I would be able to set it with the Ramp-Up in the Thread Group. My thought was:

Number of Threads (users): 1
Ramp-Up Period (in seconds): 60

that this would mean that 1 user would be started every 60 seconds, but this seems not to be true.

To do what you want, You can use one user, and within a debug sampler at end of (login, intro, search) add a timer that last 15 minutes.

You misunderstand rampup, with what you set it's useless as there is only 1 user. With 15 users, it means, start each of these 15 users within 60 minutes then once started it is not used anymore
