After reading most of the docs, am I correct in understanding that Stashboard is a front-end display of event statuses, which need to be manually set by the site/service (or perhaps updated programmatically by mashing it up with nagios or some such)? That is to say, Stashboard itself does not do any sort of monitoring or status checking on its own, yes?

Correct. Stashboard is simply a lightweight frontend display for your API/service status. It has a GUI and REST API that allow you to update status information. Using the API, one could wire Stashboard into Nagios or any other alerting system.

I like the idea of a dashboard but most of the time they are really only useful when they are custom dashboards displaying what is relevant to your project. But great work getting something out that is simple.

With stashboard, you can define all the services and statuses that are relevant to your product... it makes no assumptions. For us, it's Calls API, Account Dashboard, etc. But you can make them whatever is relevant to your customers.

Looks great simple is good! Might use it for a few things I have.

Not nearly as pretty, but my CS department has had a good experience using Xymon for monitoring:

Hey guys, main developer behind Stashboard here. Just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away :)

This is great, thanks, I've already implemented at http://status.currencyconnect.com and am working on integration with other pieces. Do you have any suggestions on how to best run a private instance of this for internal use only?

Awesome! With appeengine, you can require authentication by users in your domain...
