Creating a Stylus Project

You can create a new Stylus project by running the stylus init command. This creates a new directory with a default configuration and a monitor.d directory with a single monitor test.

$ stylus init ~/stylus
Initializing directory: "~/stylus"...
Done!

Run `stylus "~/stylus"` to start the server

$ tree ~/stylus/
├── README.md
├── config.d
│   └── isoflow.json
├── config.yaml

Once you've created the project, you can start the server with the stylus run command.

stylus run ~/stylus

If you open your web browser to http://localhost:8000, you should see a very basic default page with a green status. You'll also find a link to the status JSON and style CSS endpoints, as well as the per-monitor log output:

By default, Stylus renders a basic summary page for all of your monitors. This lets you work on your monitors before creating any custom pages. When you open the default project, you'll see three sections:

1. A table visualization showing all the monitors
2. An Isoflow visualization, updating the diagram when the status changes
3. The monitor page listing the raw monitors, and their status, along with a button to view the log output for each
