Status Console

Live system health view aggregating every health probe.

Last updated 05/24/26

What this surface does

The Status Console aggregates every health probe (DB, message provider, payment provider, AI provider, storage, cron) into a single live dashboard with red/yellow/green per dependency. Probes run on a cron and write to `status_health_probes`.

When to use it

  • Start of every shift — green-board check before doing anything else.
  • A customer reports a failure — confirm the upstream dependency status before debugging app code.
  • Post-incident — pull the timeline of degraded probes to construct a timeline.

Key gotchas

  • A probe shows the last result, not a rolling average. Flapping shows as alternating colours.
  • Probes only run when the cron is healthy. A red Cron Health card may explain "everything is green" on the rest of the board.
  • A probe failure does not auto-alert by itself — alerts come from the Alert Routing layer.
