You don't need to go fancy to setup a basic status page.
- Setup what to monitor in
monitored_stuff.sh
- Create a cron job that runs
refresh_arse.sh <path to monitored_stuff.sh> <path to generated page>
every so often - Setup a static webserver to serve the generated page
idk, if you have issues, install a status page thing that isn't a cron job generating a static page
