This syntax seems a lot less confusing and more powerful than the subset of English presented.

Another bit of syntax that I think is missing is something like:

GUAGE:

  http://domain/stats/logins 60s
COUNTER:

  http://domain/stats/logins 60s
AVG:

  http://domain/stats/logins 24h
Something like this would allow you to setup not only with simple external monitoring systems, but with internal systems like Nagios, Ganglia, ZenOSS, etc.

Of course, I do have to agree with many people that I am a bit uneasy PUBLISHING all of this data for all to see.



Interesting, incorporated this into the YAML sample: https://github.com/eliotsykes/monitorstxt/blob/gh-pages/moni...
