Overview

Vail is a standalone, self-hosted service status dashboard built with Next.js and Mantine UI. It allows you to monitor infrastructure, websites, game servers, and network endpoints with real-time health checks and latency reporting.

Key Features

• Multi Protocol Monitoring: Built-in support for HTTP/HTTPS endpoints, TCP port checks, and Minecraft SRV DNS records with automatic port resolution.
• Pure Server-Side Configuration: All services, credentials, and settings are loaded server-side from settings.json. Sensitive parameters are never exposed or stored in browser local storage.
• Dark Mode Baseline: Deep obsidian theme (#08080a) with seamless light and dark mode toggling.
• Dynamic Refresh Controls: Client-side refresh trigger with a live elapsed counter showing seconds since last status refresh.
• Discord Webhook Alerts: Broadcast incidents, service degradation, and operational status directly to Discord channels with rich embed payloads.
• Zero Database Requirement: Operates without external database dependencies; simply edit settings.json and deploy.

Architecture

Vail utilizes server actions and Edge/Node network APIs to conduct live health checks:

1. HTTP/HTTPS Checker: Executes fetch requests with configurable timeouts and validates HTTP response status codes.
2. TCP Socket Checker: Opens direct net socket connections to determine host reachability and round-trip latency.
3. Minecraft SRV Checker: Resolves _minecraft._tcp SRV records via DNS, falling back to port 25565 when unrecorded.
4. Live Status Dispatch: Latencies and statuses are evaluated on demand or periodically, streaming updates back to the UI.
