Last week we open sourced a new project called Owl  Owl takes a different approach to site monitoring in that you can get a feel for how your servers are doing at just a glance. No complex graphs of bandwidth or network latency, just color coded blocks that show you the one thing your users care about: how fast your site responds.

Owl has a simple set of screens for adding new sites and even setting up alerts via IM and Twitter. Check out the readme on our github repository to get started!
