API Status notification to user
GitHub story: apinf/api umbrella dashboard#332
Ultimate goal is to show something like: https://dev.twitter.com/overview/status (see screenshot below)
Current solution proposal:
Determine how we can inform users about API status (As an end user):
- Good to know if the API server is up and running
- What is the ping timeout for the server
- Is the API accessible (at least, returning me 403)
My current proposal is that we show something like the above screenshot where we take care of only two information;
- Is the service available
- What is the response time / performance of the service
Definition of "alive" and "down":
-
alive
* Is UP (check: isup.me or isitup.org); simple JavaScript implementation (e.g. using jQuery OR XMLHttpRequest)
-
down
* Does not respond to ping
- Web domain does not respond
taija, brylie: please check the above proposal. More study is still required and I will post updates.
