Comment:

 maybe i'm confused, but isn't this what we already have?

 i did notice the service was down this weekend, but figured it was someone
 else's problem, to be honest. :)

 the check is here:

 https://nagios.torproject.org/cgi-
 bin/icinga/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=gettor-01&service=application+service+-+gettor+status

 it runs this command on the nagios server:

 {{{
 tor_check_nrpe!tor_application_service
 }}}

 That connects to gettor-01 (over "NRPE") and runs
 `tor_application_service`, which is opaque to me, but i think it's
 something hiro wrote to do exactly what you are proposing here.

 is it possible this was done on gettor and not on bridgedb?

 for what it's worth, here are the alerts i have in my backlog:

 {{{
 2020-04-22 03:51:14 <nsa> tor-nagios: [gettor-01] application service -
 gettor status is WARNING: 1: No emails from gettor found
 2020-04-27 15:17:59 <nsa> tor-nagios: [gettor-01] application service -
 gettor status is OK: 0: GetTor is good and sending emails with working
 links
 }}}

 maybe we should change the notified parties to make sure this falls on the
 right lap? :)
