Statuscake widget for Dashing. Inspired by https://github.com/Edools/dashing-pingdom

• Copy the contents of the jobs, widgets and config folder into the the jobs, widgets and config (maybe you need create it) folders in your dashing project.

• Edit the statuscake.yml file to configure the checks. The configuration looks like this:

checks:
  - 00000
api_key: replace me
api_user:  and me too

• Edit your gemfile to add dependencies:

gem 'statuscake'
gem 'activesupport'
gem 'time_diff'
gem 'rest-client'

and run bundle install.

Add the following to your dashboard.erb file, and adjust the attributes to place it where you want. The data-id value is ended by the ID of the check (same used in statuscake.yml).

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div data-id="statuscake-status-ID" data-view="Statuscakestatus" data-title="Status Title"></div>
</li>

The layout of these widgets is inspired by Geckoboard. So, for best viewing is strongly recommended to change the dimensions of standard widgets. To do this, edit the file assets/application.coffee for something like:

Dashing.widget_base_dimensions ||= [230, 230]
Dashing.numColumns ||= 5
