feeding services status

[Sergio Fernández]

Hi,

I'm relatively new to stashboard, and I have a basic question: how does the status check works?

I mean, from the admin interface I can add services, but I do not find how tell stashboard to check the status somewhere else. How does it check it? Is is possible to use stashboard as a simple status over nagios or any more sophisticated monitoring tool?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

[Sergio Fernández]

this could be a valid approach: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/stashboard/4Q0Ym6bQxxw

but I wonder if someone has already made progress on such aspect in the last two years...

Stashboard does not check status if I understand your question.  It is merely the UI which reflects status.  You need to update the stashboard UI with some other externally running process through a rest api documented here:
http://stashboard.readthedocs.org/en/latest/restapi.html

There is a good example program of how to do the most common api calls located here in the doc:
