Nice job! -- we actually needed this so badly a few years back that I wrote a simple app in a day to do this myself, though it's not very robust. I am actually surprised it's taken so long for someone to offer a SaaS version. Your pricing is so reasonable that I'd switch to your app if you could just flush out one more feature.

I actually don't want another app for reporting. I already use a monitoring service (pingdom) and would prefer to keep all of our "alerts" organized through a single service.

Could you offer a http-based public status page? Our system allowed each snitch to be tagged with a tag like "net.tourbuzz.db.replication.upToDate" and then a url like http://foo.com/deadoralive?filter=net.tourbuzz would allow us to use a single Pingdom monitor to alert us if any of snitches in that namespace failed.

This is a simple tagging structure that makes it easy to organize large numbers of snitches into manageable groups and easily integrate it into existing monitoring/alerting infrastructure.

Feel free to email me directly if you want more info.
