What Cachet is not

Here is a list of things that Cachet is not or does not do:

1. It does not monitor your services. It works only as a way to display the status of your services. However, Cachet is able to receive updates from third-party services via its API.

2. It does not work on a plugin system. There are no monitoring services to extend.

So basically we need both Cachet for displaying the status and another tool to check it (it wouldn't be very good if the tool was on the app itself otherwise it might not be effective when it's truly needed).

I was hoping to have both in one place (the monitoring and the status), is there a "cachet-ready" system?

Once we're stable then we'll finish it off. Things change too often recently.
