Re: Stashboard for Dummies?

Vince,

The data you create locally will not sync to App Engine, as the local App Engine environment uses a separate database. You'll need to create your services in both places.

So I mayde some progress...I realized there was an admin login on my locally hosted stashboard.  I was able to login and make some test services.  Somehow I missed this was a manual dashboard but that's fine.  Now I'm trying to tackle the issue of my stashboard hosted on my .appspot.com site.  I've deployed the new version from my local computer via googleappenginelauncher but the only change that I see is the logo I updated (logo.png) stashboard.  The actual services I made on my local version won't show up on my google hosted site?  Is there a delay maybe on googles end or am I missing something when I'm uploading changes?  Any help again is greatly appreciated!

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Stashboard and kind of stumbling through the setup.  I was able to register my app on google and view the default stashboard (which looks great).  I also think I have the basic concept of how this works, I have a local copy on my Mac and I'm then deploying (pushing) the changes to the google side where it sits for all to see?  So my question to you guys is where do I begin to modify my local version?  The first thing in the documentation references this:

The Stashboard REST API is split in two portions. The public facing REST API only responds to GET and lives at the /api/v1/endpoint. This API requires no authentication.

The admin-only REST API lives at the /admin/api/v1/ endpoint and responsds to GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. You'll need to authenticate via OAuth. You can obtain your OAuth keys on the OAuth Credentials page at https://{application-id}.appspot.com/admin/credentials

The above doesn't make much sense to me, from what I can tell my local stashboard lives in the stashboard folder I downloaded to my desktop.  How do I locate the /api/v1 folder?  My second question is do you think stashboard could accomplish what I'm looking for.  I'm attempting to just have a simple event created when a service goes down via ping which then would display on my dashboard as a red icon.  I'm looking to monitor internal switches/servers.  I have Nagios setup but wanted something dumbed down which can be displayed on a monitor for internal users to see.  Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi Vince Gambo,

Please tell me how did you update logo.png. I can't find how to do it.

Many Thanks!

Roman,

The image is stored in \stashboard\static\images .  You can modify the reference to the image in base.html file which is in the templates directory.
