dashing-pingdom

Set of pingdom widgets to Shopify Dashing (http://shopify.github.io/dashing/).

Setup

• Copy the contents of the jobs, widgets and config folder into the the jobs, widgets and config (maybe you need create it) folders in your dashing project.

• Edit the pingdom.yml file to configure the checks. The configuration looks like this:

checks:
  - 00000

• Configure your credencials. It is not recommended add password directly in the configuration files. So, a good solution is to use dotenv gem when you are working on development and environment variables for production.

Add it to dashing's development group gemfile:

gem 'dotenv'

and run bundle install.

Now just add your passwords in the .env file. This file should NEVER be versioned.

• Edit your gemfile to add dependencies:

gem 'pingdom-ruby', :git => "https://github.com/tamaloa/pingdom-ruby.git"
gem 'activesupport'
gem 'time_diff'
gem 'rest-client'

and run bundle install.

For best viewing

The layout of these widgets is inspired by Geckoboard. So, for best viewing is strongly recommended to change the dimensions of standard widgets. To do this, edit the file assets/application.coffee for something like:

Dashing.widget_base_dimensions ||= [230, 230]
Dashing.numColumns ||= 5
