[Zenoss-dev] HTTP Status Checks, etc.

[Erik A. Dahl]

Duncan,

This looks correct to me for the most part more comments below.   
Monday is looking pretty bad so let's shoot for Tuesday afternoon.   
On you coming out here let's plan to do that when you can be here for  
a week.  When do you think would that be?

The current zenstatus was written very quickly so don't feel too  
attached to it.

Yes 155 and 150 are very related. I think I would change App-level to  
Service (a generic term for network based apps)  My thought was that  
the config would live under /Service something like.  Maybe we need  
to change IpService to TcpService

/Serivce/TcpService
/Service/HttpService
...
/Service/Database/Mysql
/Service/Database/Oracle

Just a thought not wedded to it.

Let's talk more on Tuesday.  If you have time and want to push  
forward on this before then I'm fine with what you have so far.
