Scripting. I am not quite sure what you mean by that, but please make it simple. Pingdoms custom checks are simple because site owners just need to make an endpoint that prints out an xml snippet.

Fx. I have a service here: http://api.convert.io/realtime.svc/pingdom/queue-length which prints out: <pingdom_http_custom_check><status>OK</status><response_time>2</response_time></pingdom_http_custom_check>

How about you offer the same, but add a few more check types. One with the status/response time and another with just a single number.

<nimbu_http_custom_check><check_value>2</check_value></nimbu_http_custom_check>
