status.invidio.us

I guess with transitioning to a container (such as #162), more advanced monitoring tools should be made available. (for invidio.us this could be status.invidio.us)

You could send more metrics such as "Youtube updates in the last hour", "Channels in queue" or "Error rate", as well as a general uptime data.

It would also help separate deployment-related issues from project-related issues.

There's many good status pages out there such as Cachet or Staytus.

That's interesting. I'm taking a look at them now, do either of them expose an API that could be updated with the metrics suggested? I'd also like to be able to integrate metrics which my host provides (DigitalOcean), so it would be possible to see number of 500, 200 response per second, etc.

If anyone knows of any other status pages out there as well, feel free to share them here.

@omarroth consider https://www.statuspage.io/

Here's their demo pages:
Statuspage: https://reddit.statuspage.io/
Cachet: https://demo.cachethq.io/
Staytus: https://demo.staytus.co/

Here are the API docs for metrics (and for anything else too):
Statuspage: https://doers.statuspage.io/api/v1/metrics
Cachet; https://docs.cachethq.io/v1.0/reference#get-metrics
Staytus: https://github.com/adamcooke/staytus/tree/stable/doc/api

Cachet and Statuspage both support displaying metrics, but Staytus only supports displaying the current status.

But Statuspage is not free, while the others are FOSS.

Cachet is cool but requires selfhosting, which may not be the best option for a status page.

I'm currently looking into making metrics from DigitalOcean available for displaying in a similar format to https://reddit.statuspage.io/#week. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any documentation (that I can find) on how to do this. I'm still looking into it though and it should be possible.

At this point Cachet and Statuspage are the two services I'm considering. I agree that self-hosting may be a problem for a status page, but I would prefer FOSS where possible. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to look into this more.

There was some discussion in #356 about providing some info that could be used for a status page. Maybe /api/v1/stats could provide additional metrics that might be useful here, such as a "latest channel refreshed at" or a similar field that might indicate a problem with updating subscriptions.

Added lastChannelRefreshedAt to /api/v1/stats with f0cc7a9.
