2 years ago Review of statuspage.io:
- Incidents are created in statuspage.io. If we want to integrate with an external service like pagerDuty to get incident history, we would need to create and manage an integration.
- The graphs for service availability are based on the incident history and does not have a hook into things like DataDog
It may not be possible to achieve everything desired by using an out of the box solution like statuspage.io
We need a single dashboard to display the current status of services within va.gov. We would also like to show planned outage and ongoing issues similar to what lighthouse is doing. https://valighthouse.statuspage.io/.
We will test with both statuspage.io and a custom website using vercel.com.
We may want more flexibility to our view and ownership of the status with a simple node website using Vercel.com.
The goal is to use Datadog API and other status info to present a public facing user friendly dashboard of the status of the services that make up va.gov from a Platform perspective.
