Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
cState is only a frontend, a backend monitor bot should be provided.
Describe the solution you'd like
I've wrote a very simple bot myself at https://github.com/thuhole/status-probe, with these features:
- Monitor websites and automatically publish incidents using GitHub API.
- In case of GitHub API downtime, the bot would retry GitHub API in a separate thread.
- In case of the probe's connection error rather than the server's connection error, the bot used a trick to handle, see readme.
It would also be a good idea to add some other features, such as webhook, email notification, custom messages, more types of services etc... I just think that such bot should be a cState official feature. So users don't need to write scripts themselves.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually publish . However manually publishing disruptions usually has a delay. You cannot ask a human to stay up 24/7.
