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

• 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.

Widget to display Pingdom Status of a specific check.

Add the following to your dashboard.erb file, and adjust the attributes to place it where you want. The data-id value is ended by the ID of the check (same used in pingdom.yml).

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div data-id="pingdom-status-ID" data-view="Pingdomstatus" data-title="Status Title"></div>
</li>

Widget to display Pingdom Uptime of a specific check.

Add the following to your dashboard.erb file, and adjust the attributes to place it where you want. The data-id value is ended by the ID of the check (same used in pingdom.yml).

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div data-id="pingdom-uptime-ID" data-view="Pingdomuptime" data-title="Uptime Title"></div>
</li>

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
