DRP - Site Checker

Disaster Recovery Plan - Site checker

Checks given site for availability - if not fixed after amount of times checked. Notify users via email.

Flow of this tool:

• 1. Checks given site every given frequency (uses cron)
• 2. If that site is not giving a status code 200 or gives a timeout. It checks that site again after a given amount of minutes
• 3. If that site is still unavailable it sends an email to the given admin email.
• 4. When the DRP has found that the site is down for a given amount of times it also sends an email to an email list.
