Server health/check

[brendo]

I just spent a few hours debugging why login wasn't working on a server.

Turns out it was because session_save_path wasn't writable.

It made me think, is there something we could do to help debug/check that a server is healthy?

We could do it in the installer. We could also add a page alert for this.

Downside of the installer is that it's usually run on the development environment, not the production environment.

[nitriques]

Indeed. That's why it would also need page alerts!

Would it be nice to have that feature and make it extendable so extensions could build on that.

@nitriques
Extension – not in the core!

The installer can use the extension.

@froschdesign Well, no sadly: they are the last thing to be installed.
