Hi,

first: thanks for this project. Was just looking for cronitor.io alternatives and thought to create something similar, but I guess you already did the job. ;)

One question though: Is it possible, not to use Postgresql but use MySQL instead?

Hi Torsten,

so far the only Postgres-specific thing is a database trigger which updates api_check.alert_after field. This trigger gets created when you run manage.py ensuretriggers command. I've just added a MySQL version of the trigger and it seems to work.

I've updated README with some basic instructions on setting up a development environment.
You can update DATABASES key in settings.py and give it a spin.
