deSEC Status page shows old updated values?

When looking at the deSEC status page at https://desec-status.net I notice that the reported last update timestamps for API, dedyn.io dynDNS service and DNS Anycast Frontends seem to be very old:

  • API: Last updated Saturday 17th October 2020 21:06:45
  • dedyn.io dynDNS service: Last updated Thursday 11th June 2020 13:02:52
  • DNS Anycast Frontends: Last updated Thursday 11th June 2020 13:07:27

Is this incorrect data, i.e. are the status values actually more recent, or these really very old status values?

Thanks!

Hi fiwswe,

The timestamp is only updated when a service disruption is reported.

This is because reports are published manually: While we do have automated monitoring and alerting (we aim at a few minutes reaction time), that’s currently not connected to the status page. As usual, any improvements are of course appreciated :slight_smile:

Stay secure,

Ok, that explains it. Thanks!

Where would I look to see if I can offer improvements to the system?
GitHub - desec-io/desec-stack: Backbone of the deSEC.io Free Secure DNS Hosting Service does not seem to include the status page or the system for monitoring the services?

The status page is not part of desec-stack because it’s supposed to provide people with information in case desec-stack is down :wink:

Currently, it is a simple Docker deployment of Cachet hosted on a different machine. We don’t deviate form the standard setup. Here are some docs on how to get started: https://docs.cachethq.io/docs/get-started-with-docker

I’m not sure what Cachet’s automation capabilities are, nor are we bound to using Cachet. We mainly started using it because of its simplicity (KISS principle).

Stay secure,
Peter
