Introduction

Netlify StatusKit is a template to deploy your own Status pages on Netlify.

Netlify StatusKit is released under the MIT License. Please make sure you understand its implications and guarantees.

Deploy to Netlify

Initial configuration

Click in the Deploy to Netlify button above to create your own site directly and push this repository to your own account. Before creating the site, Netlify will ask you to fill required environment variables listed here:

  • STATUSKIT_PAGE_TITLE - Title to show in the browser for your status site.
  • STATUSKIT_COMPANY_LOGO - URL to your company's logo.
  • STATUSKIT_SUPPORT_CONTACT_LINK - URL to a support page for your users to talk with you.
  • STATUSKIT_RESOURCES_LINK - URL to documentation for your users.
  • STATUSKIT_FAVICONS_PATH - Path where the favicons for different statuses are. By default, we use /images/favicon/favicon-ok.ico when there are no incidents, /images/favicon/favicon-warning.ico when there are no major incidents, and /images/favicon/favicon-danger.ico when there are major incidents. This path can be an external URL, like https://my-favourite-cdn/images/status-favicons. The names for the different statuses must be favicon-ok.ico, favicon-warning.ico and favicon-danger.ico.

Extra configuration

After the site is created, you can modify the code as much as you want and push it to your GitHub repository. Netlify will pick up changes from there.

Reporting systems

You can add systems you want to report about to your Status page. For instance, you might want to tell your users about a status change in your CDN infrastructure but not in your API.

Go to site/config.toml and change the global systems variables. Once that's done, you'll be able to change the status of each one of those systems individually when you open or modify an incident.

Full customization

This template is based in Netlify's Victor-Hugo boilerplate. To work on it you'll need NPM installed. To download dependencies type npm run dependencies, that will check if you have Hugo installed and will download it for you if you don't. It will also run npm install for the first time to download extra dependencies. After that, you can run npm install every time you want to install packages.

Creating incidents

Adding incidents to your status page is as simple as adding a new document to the incidents collection. Create a new incident using Hugo with a command like this:

hugo -s site new -k incidents incidents/oh-no-something-went-wrong.md

Hugo will create a new Markdown file for you with title and date based on the file name and a few predefined settings in the header. To learn more about the different states and report, you can see more detailed examples in site/archetypes/incidents.md.

After explaining the current situation in the incident, you can just push the file to GitHub. Netlify will deploy the indicent announcement for you in a matter of seconds.

Resolving incidents

Everything will be operational again when all incidents are marked with resolved = true.

Development

Netlify StatusKit uses NPM to manage dependencies. It also bundles a version of Hugo to work out of the box.

  1. Use npm install to download dependencies.
  2. Use npm start to start the development server.
