Using for LifeSignal + Invoking Trigers

[Yaniv G]

Hi.

Great initiative.

Many thanks to the developers.

I'd like to use requestbin as a lifesignal service for my servers: my servers calls the requestbin url every 30 mins; when it is down, I can see the last time it was active.

Feature request: triggering system:

* Send me an email when no call has been received for the last 30 minutes. 

* Send me an email when a call has been received with a specific text.

Can save me some code, but more than that - saves me the maintenance of a polling process on a server.

What do you think?

Do you know any tool online I can use for that?

Thanks!

Yaniv.

We've talked about that exact thing, but it would start bloating the scope of RequestBin. It would make sense as a separate service that either watches RequestBin or accepts requests itself.

In fact, you could use Skywatch with RequestBin to accomplish this.
