notifications-admin/paas-failwhale

What is it?

This is a simple static error page to present to users in case of a (planned) downtime. It is deployed as an individual app and remains dormant until a route is assigned to it.

How do I use it?

It should already be deployed, but if not you can deploy it by running

cf push notify-admin-failwhale

To direct traffic to it you need to update the routes by running

cf map-route notify-admin-failwhale [ENVIRONMENT-URL] --hostname www
cf unmap-route notify-admin [ENVIRONMENT-URL] --hostname www

To remove admin failwhale:

cf map-route notify-admin [ENVIRONMENT-URL] --hostname www
cf unmap-route notify-admin-failwhale [ENVIRONMENT-URL] --hostname www

Where [ENVIRONMENT-URL] would be one of:

• notify.works for preview
• notify-staging.works for staging
• notifications.service.gov.uk for production

Make sure you are on the correct environment!
