Web UI

We provide a very simplistic Web UI for jsonmon. It just displays the checks and their statuses. It auto-reloads the server response once in 5 seconds. That is: no need to manually refresh the page.

From jsonmon v3.1 the Web UI is bundled with the program, i.e. works out of the box.
Nevertheless, you may want to install the Web UI behind nginx. Reasons:

• nginx supports SSL, authorization and gzip compression
• you may want to deploy a modified copy of the Web UI

nginx configuration

Just to proxy

server {
    listen 80;

    gzip            on;
    gzip_types      application/javascript application/json text/css text/plain;
    gzip_proxied    any;
    gzip_min_length 150;

    location / {
        proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:3000;
    }
}

You may want to use authorization, SSL, virtual host name or some other tweaking.

To add or override some files

server {
    listen 80;

    gzip            on;
    gzip_types      application/javascript application/json
                    text/css text/plain image/x-icon;
    gzip_proxied    any;
    gzip_min_length 150;

    location / {
        root        /var/www/jsonmon;
        try_files   $uri $uri/index.html @api;
        add_header  X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
    }
    location @api {
        proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:3000;
    }
}
