[ale] OT: Website Input

[Robert L. Harris]

I've got a perl script working right already which I am going to tie into
our internal nagios system but I want something I can plug into "
alertsite.com" which is external to the client and can monitor the health
of the service form the outside.  Unfortunately alertsite seems to only
take a url.
