35565	system connectivity diagnostics in admin panel	Sam Darwin	nobody	"Hi,
This is a feature idea. Often Django connects to external systems such as:
- database
- memcached
- redis
- celery
- qcluster
- email 

Imagine there was a new page built into the admin panel, ""system connectivity"", with all those items listed, and they could be ""green"" or ""red"", showing the health of the connections. 

Not a long page of internal variables or functions.    Rather, a visual, basic control panel screen with a brief list of systems, and their status.

If no cache (memcached, redis) is available, perhaps a message recommending the administrator install one.

Each of the connections is tested somehow.  Store and retrieve a value from redis. Or, send an outgoing email. Add the ability to customize the list by including more systems.

Could the code introspect?  ""you appear to be using queuing (or caching, or email), however that system is not online...""
