url_response tests web server responsiveness from the perspective of responding to a GET. It's mainly intended to test for response time, error states, certificate validity, etc.
logmon has the ability to communicate with url_response by passing to it a URL configured in logmon and retrieving the web server response as if it were the file being monitored. Then it can perform all the things that logmon can do.
url_response is very much a "did the GET work" and maybe does the response contain this word/regex pattern.
logmon doesn't care much about what the web server was doing so long as it returned something. Then you can use all the pattern matches and exclusions, data extraction, customer QOS, etc. that logmon offers.
So yes, there's overlap, but not much.
Otherwise I don't think that I understood your question.

want to understand both these points?
- Content of HTML web pages: You can use the URL Endpoint Response Monitoring (url_response) probe with the logmon probe to monitor the text in a web page.
and in url monitoring i saw below checkpoint in url message profile and want to understand what doe it actually check for ? what sort of string does it actually check for ??

Did you read the documentation linked above?
Whether you use the URL option to invoke the URL directly or if you use a command configuration to run the curl command depends on your specific requirements which haven't been presented yet.
The neat thing with UIM is that you can try things and if they don't work, change how you are doing it.

below are the urls that we like to monitor
It is either the HTTP response code (HTTP/2 200) or it is a string in the response, typically part of a json response that the api outputs.
$ curl -sk https://paasworker02-bma.se.telenor.net/_ping
{"Error":"","Healthy":true}
$ curl -sk c4MsFZwW9TmK@kibana-dashboard.paas.se.telenor.net/api/status" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://monitor:c4MsFZwW9TmK@kibana-dashboard.paas.se.telenor.net/api/status
{
