Website to monitor Lemmy servers' performance/availability

Originally asked in #lemmy:matrix.org


1 The Idea

I've been thinking about writing a website to monitor Lemmy instances, much in the same vein as lemmy-status.org, to help people like me, who are interested in the operational health of their favourite servers, have a better understanding of patterns and be notified when things go wrong.

I thought I'd share my thoughts w/ you and ask for your feedback before going down any potential rabbit hole.

1.1 Public-facing monitoring solution external to a cluster

I don't wish to add any more complexity to a Lemmy setup. Rather I'm thinking about a solution which is totally unknown to a Lemmy server AND is publicly available.

I'm sure one could get quite a decent monitoring solution which is internal to the cluster using Prometheus+Grafana but that is not the aim
