StatusCake delivers accurate global website monitoring for tens of thousands of customers.
With the free plan you can use public reports to have a quick look on the health of your services.
If you want to display your public report under your own subdomain you can use a built in feature from statuscake and point the CNAME-Record of your subdomain to the report. In this case you can have problems with caching especially when you use cloudflare.
But there is no need to use this "dns-magic" you can easily proxy the report by your self und can put it under any uri you want.
There is a little pitfall because a public report uri looks like this "https://uptime.statuscake.com/?TestID=ZOasdEMaz3" and if you try to pass assets to this host you wont get the correct result. So you need two locations for an nginx definition.
location ~ /.+ {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host uptime.statuscake.com;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_pass https://uptime.statuscake.com;
}
location / {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host uptime.statuscake.com;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_pass https://uptime.statuscake.com/?TestID=ZOasdEMaz3;
}If you use chef-solo recipes for you nginx configuration you can create a template like this:
<%
require 'uri'
uri = URI(@public_report_uri)
proxy_host = uri.host
proxy_scheme = uri.scheme
%>
server {
[...]
location ~ /.+ {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host <%= proxy_host %>;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_pass <%= proxy_scheme %>://<%= proxy_host %>;
}
location / {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host <%= proxy_host %>;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_pass <%= @public_report_uri %>;
}
}
