I have implemented this: https://github.com/ohadlevy/foreman/pull/6

Here is how to use it:

$ curl -k -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:3001/status
{"db_duration_ms":"2","result":"ok"}

would you mind sending it to foreman-dev mailing list as a patch? - see Contribute

I will do that. I dont know why it did not send me an email when you updated the task. Need to get familiar with RedMine :-)

Moving to the home controller and creating functional test. I will re-send my patch to the list.

Sending new patch to the list:

- moved to home controller
- returns HTTP CODE 200 when ok, 500 on error
- functional test
