Rails based application for web services uptime and load time monitoring

About application¶ ↑

Status is a rails based application for web services uptime and load time monitoring. It builds smart charts for the reports and has background scripts to ping and log services each minute.

Getting Started¶ ↑

Initialize and migrate database:

bundle
rake db:create
rake db:migrate

Generate some fake data:

rake db:seed

Data generating will spend some time. You could set days period for data generator by setting PAST_DAYS environment variable to any value:

PAST_DAYS=7 rake db:seed # generate data for one week

Then launch rails server, redis, clockwork and sidekiq:

rails s
redis-server
clockwork app/workers/clockwork.rb
sidekiq

Using cached version:¶ ↑

Plots generation spends a lot of time. If you don’t want to wait the page loads (obviously) you could use “with_cache” code branch. Cache updates every 10 minutes. So, after all scripts (rails, sidekiq, clockwork) are launched you need to wait some time until cache is written.

Tests¶ ↑

If you want to run specs, you need to create config/database.yml configuration file first. Then everything is as usual:

RAILS_ENV=test rake db:migrate
rspec spec/
