Instatus Integration

[ajhalili2006]

About this Suggestion

While Upptime is good at checking the status on our endpoints, I want to keep my Instatus page up-to-date, just in case GitHub Pages (assuming the Upptime package isn't dependent on GitHub APIs) goes down (and we need to wait for DNS records to propagate if I want to swap to GitLab Pages temporarily).

The format

ℹ️ Just removed some comments in JSON from their dashboard, because JSON doesn't like JavaScript comments.

Here's the request JSON when calling the webhook endpoint on Instatus:

{
  "trigger": "down",
  "name": "Sample incident name",
  "message": "Sample incident message",
  "status": "MAJOROUTAGE"
}

And here's another request JSON if it's up again:

{
  "trigger": "up", 
  "name": "Sample incident name",
  "message": "Sample incident message",
}

The problem

Since each component is slugified in Upptime, that's a current problem unless we can just use raw data from the config file. Also, the webhook-base integration only works for incidents and not maintenances. (I'm not sure about that, maybe ask them in Slack soon.)

Possible Alternative Options

• Use the Instatus API to manage incidents, maintenances, and components with INSTATUS_API_TOKEN and INSTATUS_API_PAGEID variables.
