it SHOULD be manual. you're foolish if you automate your red/yellow/green status indicators, or even host any of that kind of thing on your own infrastructure in any way.

the status page needs to be updated by a human that knows what the issues are, and not automation that will flag everything red the instant anything trivial in the automation fails.

you want static pages and images served up, nothing automated or scripted.




Manual reporting tends to undershoot a lot. I find that worse than the risk of the status page going red when things are fine.

> you want static pages and images served up

Totally separate issue. You can update static pages with any method.
