# Paratrooper - Pingdom Notifier
[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/paratrooper-pingdom.png)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/paratrooper-pingdom)
[![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/tmaier/paratrooper-pingdom.png)](https://codeclimate.com/github/tmaier/paratrooper-pingdom)
Notify [Pingdom][] to stop application monitoring during deployments when
using [Paratrooper][]
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'paratrooper-pingdom'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install paratrooper-pingdom
## Usage
When initializing `Paratrooper::Deploy` a `notifiers` option can be passed
```ruby
Paratrooper::Deploy.new('app_name',
notifiers: [
Paratrooper::Pingdom::Notifier.new('app_key', 'username', 'password')
]
)
```
This will notify Pingdom that a deploy has begun and to stop application
monitoring until enabled again. When Paratrooper has finished your deploy
another notification will be sent to Pingdom to enable application monitoring.
For more information on `notifiers`, see [Paratrooper][] documentation.
