Creepermon is an app for monitoring websites in a really stupid way. It doesn't do alerting. It just curls your websites and creates graphs.
Creepermon takes a yaml file that defines a list. Each item in the list is a url and html xpath. We log each scrape to Keen.io and build a nice dashboard to show you all of your sites.
Each scrape collects:
- Status code
- Scrape time
- Value to xpath target
The value of the xpath target is turned into an integer before storage.
Clone, change sites.yml, push to heroku.
