Overview
status.akn.me.uk is the live uptime and incident monitoring dashboard for all services within the akn ecosystem. It provides a real-time view of service health and a historical record of past incidents.
The status page is powered by Checkmate, a self-hosted monitoring platform. The AKN logo is displayed prominently at the top of the page.
Page Structure
Incidents Panel
The page is divided into two incident sections:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Active Incidents | Any currently ongoing service disruptions or degraded performance |
| Past Incidents | Historical record of all resolved incidents |
When no incidents are occurring, both sections display "None recorded".
Service Reports
Each monitored service is displayed as a report card containing:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The name of the monitored service |
| Status | Current operational status (Up / Down / Degraded) |
| URL | The endpoint being monitored |
| Uptime | Rolling 30-day uptime percentage visualisation |
The service list is loaded dynamically via JavaScript (genAllReports()) when the page finishes loading.
How It Works
On page load, two JavaScript functions run automatically:
genAllReports()— Fetches the current status of all monitored services and renders their report cards.genIncidentReport()— Fetches and renders any active or past incidents.
This means the page requires JavaScript to be enabled for full functionality. While the page is loading, a "Loading status information..." message is displayed.
Interpreting the Status Page
Status Colours
Typically status monitoring pages use the following colour conventions (consistent with Checkmate's design):
| Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green | Operational — service is up and responding normally |
| Yellow / Orange | Degraded — service is up but performance is reduced |
| Red | Down — service is not responding |
Uptime Bar
The 30-day uptime bar shows a day-by-day breakdown of availability. Each segment represents one day; colour indicates whether the service was up, degraded, or down that day. The overall uptime percentage is shown as a number (e.g. 99.9%).
Incident Reporting
Incidents are tracked with:
- Title — a short description of the issue
- Status — open or resolved
- Affected services — which monitors were impacted
- Timeline — when the incident started and ended
Access
The status page is publicly accessible without authentication, so anyone can check the health of akn services at any time.
