The menu and instances

The menu​

The menu is where lazykuma starts: the LAZYKUMA logo, one line per instance, then Add instance, Background alerts, Help and Quit. ↑/k and ↓/j move, enter chooses.

Under the selected instance is its address, how many monitors it has and how many are down — or, when it is not connected, why. The footer sums up every instance at once:

home ok vps down lab no cred

The states are explained in First run. Background alerts is a switch: see Background alerts.

The instance screen​

enter on a connected instance opens it. The top line counts its monitors:

home · 12 monitors · 11 up · 1 down

Below it, the monitor list on the left and, on the right, the monitor under the cursor: its target, its tags, its state, its uptime over 24 hours, the days left on its certificate, a sparkline of its pings and a bar of its latest beats, then its newest messages.

Each monitor's mark says its state:

Mark
●up
✖down
◐pending
◆under maintenance
‖paused
○no beat yet

Groups show ▾ when open and ▸ when folded, with their worst monitor's state beside them.

If the connection drops, the screen keeps what it last had and says so in the top line: stale since 15:04 · down.

Search, show, sort​

  • / searches as you type: names, targets, and tag names and values. enter keeps the search and returns to the list; esc clears it.
  • f cycles which monitors are shown: all, down, up, paused, maintenance.
  • s cycles the order: by status (down first), by name, by ping (slowest first) or by uptime (worst 24-hour uptime first).

While a search or a show is on, groups are shown open, so a match is never hidden in a folded group. The top line says which show and sort are on.

esc with a search typed clears it; with none, it goes back to the menu.
