mojotech/situation-room

Like pingdom, but with more cachet

Situation Room

Situation Room is a self-hosted website "status checker" much along the lines of pingdom.com or similar services. Initially, the Situation Room will support simple uptime status checks, but the ability to add in additional statu type checks like load times, page load sizes, etc... will be added.

The repo is currently in the process of being converted into elixir. Updates will soon follow.
