Configuration

You can configure the app using the dict STATUSBOARD in settings.py:

from django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.staticfiles import static
# for Django >= 3.0: from django.templatetags.static import static

STATUSBOARD = {
    "INCIDENT_DAYS_IN_INDEX": 7,
    "OPEN_INCIDENT_IN_INDEX": True,
    "AUTO_REFRESH_INDEX_SECONDS": 0,
    "FAVICON_DEFAULT": static('statusboard/images/statusboard-icon-default.png'),
    "FAVICON_INDEX_DICT": {
        0: static('statusboard/images/statusboard-icon-operational.png'),
        1: static('statusboard/images/statusboard-icon-performance.png'),
        2: static('statusboard/images/statusboard-icon-partial.png'),
        3: static('statusboard/images/statusboard-icon-major.png'),
    },
}

INCIDENT_DAYS_IN_INDEX: number of days to show in index (1 = today).
OPEN_INCIDENT_IN_INDEX: show not fixed incidents in index, whether or not the incident is older than INCIDENT_DAYS_IN_INDEX.
AUTO_REFRESH_INDEX_SECONDS: auto refresh home page every N seconds (0 = disabled).
FAVICON_DEFAULT: default favicon.
FAVICON_INDEX_DICT: favicon for index, based on the worst status (default: FAVICON_DEFAULT). The keys (0, 1, 2, 3) are the status values (see SERVICE_STATUSES in statusboard/models.py).

Customize pages

The following blocks are customizable in statusboard/base.html:

title: title of the page
branding: branding in fixed navbar
bootstrap_theme: bootstrap theme
header: header of the page
userlinks: links in the header
footer: footer div
style: CSS files
script: JavaScript files

To customize the default style, create the file statusboard/base.html that extends the original base template and customize some blocks, e.g.:

{% extends "statusboard/base.html" %}

{% load static %}

{% block title %}
A.C.M.E. statuspage
{% endblock %}

{% block branding %}
<a class="navbar-brand" href="{% url 'statusboard:index' %}"><img src="{% static "/images/logo.png" %}"></a>
{% endblock %}

{% block bootstrap_theme %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "/statusboard/css/spacelab-bootstrap.min.css" %}" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "/css/mystyle.css" %}" />
{% endblock %}

Example: change branding and title

In Django >= 1.9, the templates can be extended recursively (see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/releases/1.9/#templates).

Create a statusboard/base.html in one of your templates dir:

{% extends `statusboard/base.html %}

{% block title %}
ACME, Inc.
{% endblock %}

{% block branding %}
<a class="navbar-brand" href="{% url 'statusboard:index' %}">ACME status</a>
{% endblock %}

Notifications

django-statusboard doesn't provide an out-of-the-box notification system, but it's easy to implement using django signals.

Moreover, django-statusboard tracks the previous status of a service (Service._status).

from django.dispatch import receiver
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.core.mail import mail_admins

from statusboard import Service

@receiver(post_save, sender=Service)
def notify_service_update(sender, instance, **kwargs):
    # Send an email to admins if the service is getting worse, otherwise do nothing.
    if instance.status > instance._status:
        mail_admins("Alert", "Service {} is {}".format(instance.name, instance.get_status_display()))

REST API

django-statusboard comes with a set of REST API to manage its models, based on Django REST Framework ModelViewSet.
