Sitemap monitoring

[tobimori]

I'm really interested in solstatus, it looks great!

I'd love to see a new feature: a "Sitemap monitor." The functionality I have in mind is the ability to add a sitemap. Then, the monitor could automatically check each included link within that sitemap for a 2xx status code. Of course, the delay would more be like each hour or each five minutes to avoid dos'ing the server.

Thanks!

This is something I didn't know I needed until now—what a great idea.

Thinking about the implementation here, I think we want the sitemap monitor to generate a list of endpoints to monitor and set a default expected status code of 2xx/3xx. The user can then choose which endpoints they want 1) excluded, 2) expected status code, and 3) alert/notification mechanism. The consideration here is authenticated pages or 404 pages.

This would require a new concept of grouped endpoint monitors. In this case, managed by an automatic sitemap monitor.
