At Mashape, we are using stashboard to display the status of our system.

To easily push statuses and events to stashboard, I’ve developed a small suite called  stashboard-client

It is still a work in progress, but my idea is to create a set of classes to check different services and send the status to a stashboard instance.

It is easy to configure (a text file) and to extend (just create a new subclass of StashboardClient).

Everything is on github
