Atatus widget to Dashing

This is a Dashing widget to display the error and performance metrics using the Atatus API.

Dependencies

faraday and faraday_middleware

Add it to dashing's gemfile:

gem 'faraday'
gem 'faraday_middleware'

and run bundle install.

Usage

1. copy atatus.coffee, atatus.html, and atatus.scss into the /widgets/atatus directory of your Dashing app. This directory does not exist in new Dashing apps, so you may have to create it.

2. Copy the atatus.rb file into your /jobs folder.

3. Now copy over the atatus.yml into the root directory of your Dashing application. Be sure to replace the following options inside of the config file with your own Atatus information:

:admin_api_key: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

To include the widget in a dashboard, add the following snippet to the dashboard layout file:

• Page Load time widget

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div id="atatus_load_time" data-id="atatus_load_time" data-view="Atatus" data-title="Load time (ms)" data-green="2000" data-yellow="5000"></div>
</li>

• Throughput widget

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div id="atatus_throughput" data-id="atatus_throughput" data-view="Atatus" data-title="Page views" data-green="20000" data-yellow="25000"></div>
</li>

• Error count widget

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div id="atatus_error_count" data-id="atatus_error_count" data-view="Atatus" data-title="Error count" data-green="1" data-yellow="3"></div>
</li>

Customize responsive (color changing) widgets

You can customise the thresholds for the point at which the widgets change colours. This is done by changing the data-green and data-yellow attributes of the HTML you added to the dashboard above.

Any value between data-green and data-yellow will be yellow. If data-green is larger than data-yellow, then anything above data-green will be green, and anything below data-yellow will be red, and vice-versa.
