Stylus (style + status) is a lightweight status page for infrastructure and networks. Configure a set of bash scripts that test the various parts of your infrastructure, set up visualizations with minimal configuration, and Stylus will generate you a dashboard for your system.

Stylus is a service/network monitoring application, and a webserver with special endpoints.

• Web Application

Included in the Stylus package is a built-in webapp that includes a number of visualizations, but you can also use it to serve any content you like, even fully replacing the built-in webapp. The webapp includes an iframe visualization that can be used to display any URL you like, and if you're serving a local HTML page, can even inject CSS into it for dynamic updates without scripting.

• Status Monitoring

The status monitoring portion is based around scripts, written in any shell scripting language you like. Each script is run regularly at an interval, and if the script returns 0 that is considered "up" for a given service. If the service times out, or returns a non-zero error this is considered a soft ("yellow") or hard ("red") failure.
