title: Health Check for a Web Url
body: <p>I'm trying to implement a "health check" for my web site, basically want to write some code in java or use some freeware that can keep pinging my website url every 10 mins and see if it's up and available, if it's down for some reason would like to log that to a log file (or send an email etc).</p>
  
  <p>I did search in net but didn't get any specific implementation for this, pls suggest if you know any.</p>
  
  <p>Please note - my cloud provider does not provide such a feature as I have only a trail license with them, so this will be something like a temp arrangement till we move into the professional mode with the cloud provider.</p>
