A program that updates the status page failing does not imply that the status page is manually edited. It is not like you would generate a status page on every request.

How do we know that the program is failing ?

How hard is it for the frontend to detect if the last update to the status page was made a while ago and that itself implies there is an error and should be reported ?

  • We don’t.

    But why would the frontend have processing logic when all you need is to serve a static HTML document?

    Even if it did, what would you do with that information? Throw up a screen with: Call us for service information at 1-HAHA-JUST-KIDDING

    It’s not like it really matters if it’s accurate anyway.
