Bot uptime monitoring

[Starefossen]

As this bot moves into production and starts getting integrated in various flows where people start depending on it, I think it is time to think about how we can monitory uptime and response-time of the bot.

Here are some suggestions which I have experience with:

Name	Price	License	Remarks
Pingdom	$14.95/mo	❌Proprietary	Easy to set up, but expensive 😕
Pagerduty	$9/mo	❌Proprietary	Very advanced. Much enterpizy 😐
fzaninotto/uptime	Free	✅MIT	Unfortunately this project is not maintained any more 😢
DIY	Free	✅MIT	Make something our self similar to what I have made for monitoring Jenkins Slaves

We could send a shout out to Pingdom and Pagerduty to hear if they would like to sponsor the Node.js Foundation – it might be worth a shot.

Great initiative! It would be great to a least be confident it's up-n-running, which I guess the services you mention and Statuscake (free) could help us with.

For response-time monitoring though, I'm not sure it'll be much value for those services to request a URL on the bot.. What we're really interested is the time it took to handle webhook requests from github.com or jenkins, and maybe how long the bot is waiting for third party APIs to respond (github, travis or jenkins).

I think if we're to do such a thing we should look at the bigger scale for build resources. We have an email alert tool but we can improve lots here.

@Starefossen perhaps we can expand the jenkins status monitor to do this check too?

[Starefossen]

Yes, that would absolutely be possible!

The bot already has a /ping endpoint which could be used?

@phillipj @Starefossen I run https://noty.im for uptime monitoring.
I would like to sponsor for this with all of features that we supports (SMS, Phone Call alert, Team Access, Status Page etc)

We also have a chat bot to control from there(add check- ping endpoint, review stat) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2o8DhoN0dg

My whole stack is open source as well at github.com/notyim

Let me know what I can do to help setting this up.
