API Sandbox Status

It would be very helpful if the DM / Owners of a game had an icon at the top that represents the status of the sandbox.  If the game is using the API / Sandbox the icon should appear.  A ping should happen every 30 seconds (more or less) that tests to see if the sandbox is responsive and if no, the icon should change to a "rebooting" yellow.. (from green being good) and if it does not respond in another 15 seconds then it goes red so the sandbox can be manually restarted. we have several times when the sandbox breaks and we don't know about it and game is delayed while we are figuring out what is going on.   Also.. it would be nice if there was an error log so if we try something and it breaks because of a code error the "!" shows up and clicking on the icon will show the log. This would be very helpful :) Love what you guys are doing!  Thanks:)

Hi Brian! There is a script called API Heartbeat that places a button in the macro bar that has a bit of animation to it. That animation stops if the Sandbox crashes. I believe the script is in One Click. If not, let me know, and I can track it down. Some users keep the Mod window open on a separate monitor, though if you are not set up with such, that's not much help.

API Heartbeat with the mod page open in a second Tab makes all the difference. Also the constant animated of API Heartbeat ensures that the VTT browser connection to firebase never closes due to browser inactivity. I used to change the color of the first player avatar every few seconds too. It feels like this has a positive influence on responsiveness for all player with regards to the 'its your turn... i click, but my sheet does not respond' experienc.
