SiteStatus

If your app depends on any external services or endpoints, you've probably needed to ensure those services were properly responding. site_status allows you to easily monitor the http status of your sites and endpoints with a single rake task.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'site_status'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install site_status

site_status is configured by default to look for a file name config/status_check.yml in your project root.

# create this file, with your custom endpoints: ./config/status_check.yml
endpoints:
  - 'http://www.b3ta.com/404'
  - 'http://github.com/'
other_endpoints:
  - 'http://canyoufixmycomputer.com/'

# create this file:  ./lib/tasks/stat.rake
task :stat do
  require 'site_status'
end

In your terminal session, assuming you've already configured your endpoints:

rake stat

If you prefer a different file path for your yml config, there is a simple congiuration switch:

# configuration must be run prior to `require 'site_status'`
SiteStatus.configure do |config|
  config.yml_path = 'path/to/file.yml'
end
