Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places, but is there a way to configure everything using a config file?



Hey, thanks for the question.

Once Statusnook is deployed everything is configured via the web interface. If I've understood the question - what you're looking for doesn't currently exist.

It's something I've thought about and have received suggestions on. I think I personally will just need the ability to occasionally import/export configurations between instances. At the moment I can just copy the db.

Interested to hear more about what you would have wanted to see.


A config file would be useful, as I can template the config file, which means I can effectively do auto-discovery of intranet resources working on my cluster.

Stepping further into config files, a helm chart (once config file support is added) would be very useful


Interesting point regarding auto-discovery, thank you.

Somebody else has also told me a helm chart would be useful.


Yup that's what I was referring to. I always feel more confident configuring services using config files that can be managed using version control. It's PTSD from having to deal with software such as Jenkins ages ago.


Same here - I want my configs for EVERYTHING in version control at all times. That way I can see exactly why things are working / not working, when things were changed, who changed them etc.


This makes sense, noted.


Got you, thanks for sharing your experience.

I’ll keep this in mind.
