SixNines is a hosted service to validate and prove availability of your web service and sites.

Read this blog post for more details: SixNines.io, Your Website Availability Monitor.

The badge is available as:

https://www.sixnines.io/b/5fa8?style=flat&format=png

Here, the style parameter can be either round or flat. The format parameter can be either svg (106x20) or png (424x80).

This is how you put it in your README (in Markdown):

The badge you see above works exactly like that.

How to contribute?

First, install Java 8+, Maven 3.2+, Ruby 2.3+, Rubygems, and Bundler. Then:

$ bundle update
$ bundle exec rake --quiet

The build has to be clean. If it's not, submit an issue.

Then, make your changes, make sure the build is still clean, and submit a pull request.

In order to run a single test:

$ bundle exec rake run

Then, in another terminal:

$ bundle exec ruby test/test_base.rb -n test_lists_flips

Then, if you want to test the UI, open http://localhost:9292 in your browser, and login, if necessary, by adding ?glogin=tester to the URL.
