Notify site administrator when forms stop working #162

When forms are fully configured, it would be neat if some mechanism could be put in place that keeps a tab on whether forms are still working as they should be.

There are several ways to go about this.

[ ] A periodical health check, much like pinging a server for uptime.
[ ] Throttling, ie send out notification after > 5% improvement in API failures.
[ ] Immediate notification for every API failure.

Etc... Input appreciated!

The new debug log seems a proper solution for this, as people can set-up log monitoring should they want to.

It would still be better to have some email sent to the site admin if the API connection fails. Most end users are not going to check the logs every day and most won't be able to setup a 3rd party log monitoring. Sending a notification after say x number of API issues (most common issue) in a particular day would be useful.

+1 for a checkbox to email errors to site admin. I can see how you also want to make this rate limited on a report per day / week or month. And maybe include spambot warnings and only report missing field and connection issues.

+1 to that too. Better to be notified about errors as soon as they occur instead of the customer complaining about it and losing signups.

+1 having an issue with a form now and have no idea how long it's been an issue :(
