Stashboard

Stashboard was written by Twilio to provide status information on our phone, SMS, and Communication APIs. We open sourced the code and to provide a generic status page designed to be customized by any hosted services company to provide customers up-to-date status information. The code can be downloaded, customized with your logo, and run on any Google App Engine account.

First, install the App Engine SDK for Python.

Next, download and extract Stashboard to your computer.

Open the SDK, choose File > Add Existing Application..., select the stashboard folder you downloaded above and choose a port. Press Run and navigate to http://localhost:{port} to see your Stashboard installation.

Before you can deploy Stashboard, you will need to create an application on App Engine.

Once your application is registered, open app.yaml in the Stashboard directory and change application-id to the name of your newly created application.

Hit the 'Deploy' button, wait a couple of seconds, and then naviagate to http://{app-name}.appspot.com to enjoy your new status dashboard

By default, Stashboard exposes a rich client, utilizing AJAX and jQuery. If instead you just want a basic read only view, change the rich_client attribute to False in config.py.

Full documentation of the REST API can be found at http://stashboard.appspot.com/documentation/rest

Future plans include RSS feeds, Web Hook integration, and a richer support for different status page views.
