AppStatus Plugin 0.1 Released

The AppStatus plugin enables you to easily display useful info about your application.

Install the plugin and navigate to http://yourapp/appStatus to see application.properties, server time and locale.

If you want to see more details you can specify the "providers" in resources.groovy

import uk.co.acuminous.app.status.provider.*
import uk.co.acuminous.app.status.AppStatusConfig

beans = {
appStatusConfig(AppStatusConfig) {
providers = [

// !!!DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!!
// The ApplicationConfigProvider will dump the entire
// contents of Config.groovy including datasource.password
// The SystemPropertiesProvider could also make available
// potentially sensitive system variables

properties: new ApplicationPropertiesProvider(),
config: new ApplicationConfigProvider(),
system: new SystemPropertiesProvider(),
locale: new LocaleProvider()
]
}
}


If you want to add your own providers just write something that implements the Provider interface and add it to the providers map.

Finally if you're already using jQuery and jQuery UI you pick an nicer view

beans = {
appStatusConfig(AppStatusConfig) {
providers = [
// blah
]
view = 'tabs'
}
}
