New Infrastructure Status Page

It seems to fail loading the frame content in your case - the page itself is actually loaded (as you can see by the title on the tab). You should bookmark this link instead then: https://appbeat.io/status/openHAB

Thanks Kai - perhaps it is a brower issue. That second link works, although I get a TLS cert error. No worries, great to have this and congrats on the v2 release!!

Is there a simple way to integrate the status in my sitemap?

I think with http-binding and regex there could be a way?

Or better way: If myopenhab can send a push notification, i don´t have to poll the status page all the time and i would get real time information. But his is only working for the forum-status, not for myopenhab-status… No myopenhab --> no push notification…

That would be cool, myopenhab sending a notification “I’m down”:sunglasses:

In the forums there is mention of myopenhab is not working as it should, yet the status page says: operational… Does it mean that all the problems are soved or is their no status for: “server is alive, but service only working intermittently”?

Hi,

@Kai informed about this two days ago in one of the myopenhab down topics and referenced this post:

As you can see in the Past Events there are ongoing issues with it.
Our automatic website monitoring identified an issue with myopenHAB Cloud Service.
This appears at nearly every day in the past events.

I think or could imagine that the operational is a live status and doesn’t show a specific timespan.

Just to leave some positive news here: I am pretty proud that our infrastructure seems to be running pretty stable by now (most kudos go to @digitaldan!) - I have just checked the statistics of the past 4 weeks and they look amazing:

Is it possible to add the time here?

Maybe UTC (better than CET !!)

Thanks a lot!

Not possible, sorry.

Aha, ok, a great pity!

Thanks!

Is there an API call or URL to fetch the state of the cloud service only ? So one could integrate that in own monitoring and alarming ?
Fetching the whole page and parsing the required state is either convenient nor has it good performance.

It really is a pity that the date-stamp cannot also show the time. Just showing the date alone is too coarse and can produce conflicting information.

Example:

  • My current time is 8:28 AM EST and the date is January 25.
  • On January 25, the monitoring system detected a problem with the Demo Server.
  • However, the status of the Demo Server is “Operational”.

Naturally, one must assume the problem was detected earlier than 8:28 AM EST and has already been resolved. One must assume this because the information presented contradicts itself (problem detected but system is operational).

Status.openhab.org

“Returns public status not available “

As always thanks for all the great work - this project adds value to my family’s daily experience

Yep, thanks, I noticed that already and looking into getting it back…

myopenhab.org is really a great differentiator. As projects go that piece really makes this stand out. Its a bit unbelievable this level of availability can be achieved for an infrastructure with thousands of clients i.e. the equivalent of a commercial service without it being a regimented for profit service. Hats off to you all.

Update: The status page is up and running again.

@Gordon_Geist Thanks for your positive feedback!

FTR, all kudos go to @digitaldan and @MARZIMA, who are doing an awesome job in making sure the servers are running smooth, analysing issues any time of day and scaling it if it runs under too heavy load. Impressive and wonderful to have such professional volunteers in the community. :+1:

Would it be practical or possible to develop a “status” binding, with the three monitored services as channels that connect to a switch item?

That way, real time changes in availability could be captured by persistence on the local level. It would also allow for rules based notifications of problems.

We are using AppBeat.io as a service and I just checked that there is no public REST API to get the status from.
So all that would be available is the webpage itself, which could be scraped - easiest solution would probably be the HTTP binding with some Xpath transformation…

I think the key here is that the engine behind the myopenhab.org is available to be run independently and we should consider the myopenhab.org service as an ephemeral service. Those that want committed reliability should choose a commercial notification service such as Pushover or spin up and maintain your own myopenhab.org (have fun patching and being your own CISO) or VPN when you want to change something.

Grateful for the wonderful opportunity that this project affords.

Sounds like a fun challenge :grinning: I’ll add it to my openHAB to do list!
