statistic dashboard for switch (website)

[congomonster]

Hi,

it is possible to show system info and info's from switch on a website?

I have build a dashboard with some checkpoints for our flows. For the overview it would be great to see if switch is running or how much disk storage is left.

Has anyone done something similar?

thanks

You can get some of this with web services, but I'm not sure how much. I don't have that module.

I'd be interested to see what you're building, because I also have a web portal where I have made some web "checkpoints". My systems have to use a complicated set of metadata pickups and injects to work though.

We are also working on a status portal that is going to show the status of each flow. We're going to drop a single script into each flow that executes on a timerFired value and reports that it is alive to a server. The server will respond back with the number of seconds that the script should report home again. So if a flow were to crash or be held up, it wouldn't be able to report home and we could understand that something is wrong.

Hi gabrielp,

thanks you for your answer. We didn't have the web module.
The first thing we did, was to set up checkpoints before and after some configurators. We put this data into a mysql database and show them on a website in a table. For the table we used: https://www.datatables.net/ (it has a build in search function).
The theme i use is a payed one: http://themeforest.net/item/pages-admin ... pp/9694847

At the moment we can only see, that a job has passed a checkpoint with a timestamp. If it takes to long, the job has died.
The project is in an early stage.

I have attached an iamge. I have greyed out some data because it is for work.

Ah, I see. I do that too with a little REST service which I pass files through in various points in Switch, using a simple cURL POST. The ones in yellow are from Switch:


I also have some web interfaces that allow people to approve or reject proofs or other items, which coorespond with Switch checkpoints. This allows CSRs to approve things in the Switch client or clients the ability to do it themselves on the web. Approving in either place updates the other, so everything is in sync.
