Adding check types?

[jdarling]

How can I add new check types to uptime? I need to add ping and some specific types (Redis alive, HAProxy alive, etc) but am not sure the proper approach to do this.

I'd like to see this capability as well.

Stop me if I'm wrong but I think Uptime is for website url check.

If you want to check services link Redis or HAProxy, you would better use a more compliant system like Nagios.
