I'm old-school so I just have a cron-script which polls some metrics, sticks them in an SQLite database every minute, and then spits out a static HTML page. This allows manual updates if required. I just create a text-file on a server "~/events/$year/$mon/$day/$id" and it will be inserted in the output page(s) for the next week before rotating out of the way again. Honestly something like that is very simple to setup and sufficient unless you expect multiple outages and manual updates.
