External monitoring of LAVA uptime status and notification
We would like to be notified whenever LAVA is down. This could be due to the server, infrastructure, connection or anything else. This would clearly require an external service that we can rely on.
As an example of this kind of service, we discussed looking into pingdom at the linaro connect

Whiteboard
Since this is just for our internal monitoring purposes, there should be no code change needed in lava, and nothing in the release itself.
[pwlars, 2012-03-05] Pingdom was the original tool suggested at the connect for checking out and I've been experimenting with it since then. It seems to work really well for our purposes, so we're going with that. If a better solution is found in the future, there's no reason why it couldn't be replaced, or even just added to the exising. Stats can already be publicly seen here: http://

Headline: N/A
Acceptance: When lava is offline, the team should receive an email. We should also have good metrics on the level of availability
