I was wondering if anybody would have the time to create some sort of application status dashboard, similar to the ones found on google (http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en) or amazon http://status.aws.amazon.com/). Essentially, something that acts like a simplified external facing blog, where people could update the different pieces as problems are detected. Eventually, it would be nice to be able to tie it with our different monitoring softwares, but to begin with, it would be very convenient for our partners to be able to see the overall status of our different layers. For instance, if someone detects that m.wikipedia.org is not working, the first step would be to update said dashboard to inform the less technically-savy people who are not necessarily on IRC of the problem and that someone is looking at it / in the process of fixing it. Another important feature would be to keep history on problems that have happened in the past, much like google does. I know this is already done to some extent with the server admin log, but having an easy to read interface would in my opinion prove beneficial.
Anyway, any suggestion on additional features, or requirements are welcomed. --Fred. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
