It is a matter of looping over a set of connection settings and
recording the results. To me that points at a Postgres table with the
connections settings and another table that tracks the results of the
connection attempts.
Then it is a matter of writing code that uses psycopg to make
connections using the connection data on whatever schedule you want to
follow. The results of the connection are then written out to the status
table. Where results can be 1) Successful connection and server mode. 2)
Unsuccessful connection and connection error.

Yes use try/except for the connection attempts and capture the error if
there is one.
