About this project
Status checker is an open source utility tool concepted and maintained by Sambot designed to alert the user when their application becomes unresponsive. It all started in 2021 when an OVH data centre burnt down knocking thousands of bots, websites, applications and other vital code infastructure offline. In response to this, I decided to start an open source project that could notify a user the minute their application become unresponsive. Within 4 months of the incident the first private version of Status Checker was made and monitoring my discord bot at the time Cache, now after numerous rewrites it is available to the public, open source and can track more than just discord bots.
Status Checker splits everything into two, Discord bots and eveyrthing else, this is becuase thanks to Discord's API we can recieve bots going down instantly, for everything else (Minecraft servers, websites etc..) Every 5 minutes a requset is made to the url and if the HTTP response is not 200 then Status Checker sends the notification. Each bot or website is called an application or a service and each notification, rather obviously, is called a notification.
You can find all sorts of helpful guides in this wiki, including how to contribute, how to self host and how to setup Status Checker for your application, however if you are ever in need of any help don't hesitate to join the Discord server and ask in our support forums.
