Usage

Warning: This will spin up a local instance of the statusphere stack which will automatically scrape the status pages of the services listed in the status_pages.go file.

# From the root of the repository
docker-compose up

# The api server will be available at http://localhost:8080
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/statusPages/count

Architecture

Statusphere is made up of 3 main components:

1. The scrapers
2. The database
3. The api servers

They're orchestrated in the following way:

Scraping mechanism

Each scraper periodically polls the database to get a list of status pages to scrape. After the time interval has passed, the scraper will scrape the status page and update the database with the new status.

Parsing status pages

When a scraper scrapes a status page, it attempts to parse the page using providers in a cascading manner. Each provider is responsible for parsing a specific type of status page. For example, the status.io provider is responsible for parsing status pages that are built using the status.io platform. If a provider is unable to parse the status page it will return an error, and the next provider in the list will be attempted.
