@BlueVM - When will that be available?

 

[NodeBytes]

Any progress on getting this started?

@bcarlsonmedia - 3 to 6 weeks. Maybe a tad bit longer as I'm getting ready to move.

I like the idea and interested in seeing what comes of this.

I saw version 2.0 of Telephone's looking glass. 

Looks fantastic and I believe it does everything we've been trying to make here? 

I did not know both projects. Both look really good:

1. https://github.com/mojeda/ServerStatus
   
2. https://github.com/telephone/LookingGlass

And I don't like the idea to reinvent the wheel.

My current favorit is LookingGlass. It has:

• Commands (all nedded ones)
• IPv4 & IPv6 support
• Rate limiting

Only thing to add:

• GitHub hosted file with list of other nodes
• An additional pulldown box for the list of nodes.
• A config option to use an internal or the external list of nodes.

So what about merging the 2 and forming exactly what would be needed most for the community. 

I was thinking of putting a status page that monitors all the nodes as well and a script that removes them from the list when they are down.

 

[NodeBytes]

Would you want each node to have it's own front-end as well?

If anyone is interested I just finished up implementing ServerStatus with LookingGlass.

It's currently dev only so it's not in the master branch of ServerStatus. https://github.com/mojeda/ServerStatus/tree/dev

To get it to work upload the new uptime.php to the same folder as LookingGlass' index.php: https://github.com/mojeda/ServerStatus/blob/dev/uptime.php

Then replace/upload LookingGlass files with: https://github.com/mojeda/ServerStatus/tree/dev/LookingGlass

You should get the following LookingGlass page:



The Server Status section will update every 15 seconds.

If you don't have LookingGlass, you can get it here: https://github.com/telephone/LookingGlass

Also implementing this will not break the Master ServerStatus script.

I'm working on something similar as well. I went for a different approach - http://www.brendancarlson.me/lg/#

I also added responsive css to Telephones looking glass on this site.
