# Making requests
The Cachet API provides access to incidents and components, allowing you to view, create and update via JSON requests.
The API is accessible from `http://<cachet-url>/api/<endpoint>`
## Examples
You can use curl to interact with the API. There is no authentication required for `GET` requests:
```bash
$ curl -XGET http://status.cachethq.io/api/components
```
In order to create incidents, you must send the a json string with the required payload and authenticate. More information can be found in the Endpoints documentation listed below.
Here's a simple example:
```bash
$ curl -u username@example.com -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"API","description":"An example description","status":1}' http://status.cachethq.io/api/components
```
# Endpoints
## `/components`

# Upgrade Cachet on Heroku
To begin, you'll need the [Heroku Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/) on your system.
## Login to Heroku
Run the following command to login to your Heroku account. You'll need to provide your email and password.
```bash
$ heroku login
```
## Clone your app
Now clone your app to somewhere on your system, for this example we'll use the desktop and `cachet` as our app name.
```bash
$ cd ~/Desktop
$ heroku git:clone -a cachet
```
The toolbelt will now use Git to clone your app locally.
## Add a new remote
Once cloned we'll want to change into the app directory.
```bash
$ cd cachet
```
We can now add a new remote - the Cachet source to the repository.
```bash
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:cachethq/cachet.git
```
Now we update our app with the latest version.
```bash
$ git fetch origin
$ git reset --hard origin/master
```
## Change the buildpack
You'll only need to do this if your `BUILDPACK_URL` env var is different to `https://github.com/cachethq/cachet-buildpack`. You can check this by running:
```bash
$ heroku config:get BUILDPACK_URL
```
If you're buildpack does not match the above, you need to run:
```bash
$ heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/cachethq/cachet-buildpack
```
## Push the changes
Our app will now be running the latest version of Cachet, we just need to push it back to Heroku.
```bash
$ git push heroku
```
We're done!

# Introduction to Cachet
This document is a brief breakdown of what Cachet is, why it was built and how it works. Each section is explained in more detail within other pages.
## What is Cachet?
Cachet is a status page used for informing your customers/employees/developers with any updates or issues affecting your service and the individual components which make it up.
For example, if you're running an online store, you may have the following components powering it:
- Stripe (payments)
- Storefront (website)
- CDN
- API
If your API breaks, developers may want to know what's going on as their integrations will have broken. You can easily update the status of the component and then create a new incident explaining the issue. As you progress through to rectifying the issue you can create more incidents with a new status. Eventually you'll have fixed the issue and your service status banner will turn green.
## Why build it?
Originally built by [James Brooks](http://james-brooks.uk/cachet/), Cachet was a solution to a problem. Whilst there was [StatusPage.io](https://statuspage.io), it's an expensive service for the [small service](http://anorakci.com) that was being built at the time.
Since Cachet is open source, **anybody** can run it and anybody can contribute to it. Contributions make software better and having the freedom to fork and improve upon it means it'll be forever improving.
## How does it work?
Cachet is built upon two core concepts:
- [Components](#components)
- [Incidents](#incidents)
Here we'll break down these concepts and how they work together. Cachet also uses metrics, however they're an optional feature of Cachet that can be unused without affecting anything.
### Components
A component is setup for each of the core, individual parts to a service or product, for instance;
- API
- Website
- CDN
- Payments
In the future Cachet will be able to create third-party components directly for things like:
- GitHub
- Stripe
- Intercom
- Desk.com
And automatically update the status based on their current service status.
### Incidents
Incidents are individual to components but come pre-designed to be linked against one of them, this background feature is ready for third-party components which will be coming later on.
An incident is a status update containing a title, message and readable status.

# Installing on CentOS 6
The main issue with installing Cachet on CentOS 6 is the old PHP version. Laravel and Composer expect a version of PHP of greater than or equal to 5.4, which is the default that ships with CentOS. You also need the same version of the required extensions.
## Remi Repo
To solve this problem, the 3rd party [http://rpms.famillecollet.com/](Remi Repo) can be used, which provides newer versions of PHP.
NOTE: This will upgrade existing versions of PHP on your system, so if you already have a PHP 5.3 requirement, you'll need to consider using [RedHat's Software Collections](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Developer_Toolset/1/html-single/Software_Collections_Guide/) which allows you to install PHP 5.4 alongside the systems PHP 5.3. You'll need to compile some of the extensions yourself though

# Installation
Cachet is an open source replacement to [StatusPage.io](https://statuspage.io) written in PHP and the [Laravel](http://laravel.com) framework.
You need at least PHP >= 5.4, [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) and the following PHP extensions installed to run Cachet:
- `php-mcrypt`
- `php-mbstring`
- `php-apc`
- `php-xml`
- `php-pdo`
- A database driver for your DB, such as `php-mysql`
- `OpenSSL`

# Get a copy!
> If you want to run Cachet locally or help develop then you'll want to use this method.
The easiest way is to use Git to pull down the code. You'll need to put it into your web server directory for Apache & Nginx.
```bash
$ cd /var/www
$ git clone https://github.com/cachethq/Cachet.git
$ cd Cachet
```
## Install requirements
You need to have a modern version of node.js installed (with NPM) - see https://github.com/nodesource/distributions
```bash
apt-get install nodejs npm
npm install -g bower
npm install -g gulp
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php #always be careful when piping from the internet!
```
## Build the assets.
```bash
$ npm install
$ bower install
$ gulp
```
# Configuring a database without Heroku
Cachet relies on a database to store the components and incidents, however it needs to be configured for your [environment](https://github.com/cachethq/Cachet/blob/master/docs/setup/install.md#environment-detection).
Our database configuration (`./app/config/database.php`) is setup to require the following environment variables:
- `DB_DRIVER` - `sqlite`, `mysql`, `pgsql` or `sqlsrv`.
- `DB_HOST`
- `DB_DATABASE` - SQLite file within the `app/database` directory or database name.
- `DB_USERNAME`
- `DB_PASSWORD`
Laravel uses PDO for its database driver so it should be compatible with:
- SQLite
- MySQL
- Postgresql
- MSSQL
No `.sqlite` file is included, so be sure to add this into your `app/database` directory.
Laravel 4 enables you to [protect your sensitive configuration details](http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/configuration#protecting-sensitive-configuration) with the use of .env files. For your production environment, create a `.env.php` file in the root of your project, or for environment specific create the file named `.env.environment.php`.
For example, if working locally with MySQL, your `.env.local.php` file would be:
```php
<?php
return [
'DB_DRIVER' => 'mysql',
'DB_HOST' => 'localhost',
'DB_DATABASE' => 'cachet',
'DB_USERNAME' => 'root',
'DB_PASSWORD' => 'secret',
];
```
> Even though SQLite doesn't require a host, username or password, these still must be set (an empty string will suffice).
# Install dependencies
Now we need to install of the dependencies that Cachet requires:
```bash
$ composer install --no-dev -o
```
# Deploy to Heroku
When using the **Deploy to Heroku** button you needn't worry about using a database as the install will setup a free instance of ClearDB. Once installed Heroku can direct you to the setup page where you'll configure the site/application information and create an administrator account.
### Running database migrations
Once we've decided on our database, we now need to run the migrations to create the tables. In our command line we need to run the migrations, from within the root directory:
```bash
$ php artisan migrate
```
You should see the output of the current project migration files being migrated to your database.
### Seeding
If you're getting Cachet setup to develop on, then you may want to seed the database with some example data.
```bash
$ php artisan db:seed
```
# Running Cachet
## Apache
Apache is one of the easier installations. We simply need to create a new Virtual Host and add it to our `HOSTS` file.
We simply add the following Virtual Host to our `httpd-vhosts.conf` file:
```
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName cachet.dev # Or whatever you want to use
ServerAlias cachet.dev # Make this the same as ServerName
DocumentRoot "/var/www/Cachet/public"
<Directory "/var/www/Cachet/public">
Require all granted # Used by Apache 2.4
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
```
Next we add a lookup on our `HOSTS` file (if we're not serving Cachet externally). So open up `/etc/hosts` or on Windows it'll be `C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts` and add this line:
```
127.0.0.1 cachet.dev
```
Restart Apache and you're done!
## nginx
- Install php5-fpm
- Generate your SSL key+certificate
- Create a new vhost such as `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/cachet.conf`:
```
# Upstream to abstract backend connection(s) for php
upstream php {
server unix:/tmp/php-cgi.socket;
server 127.0.0.1:9000;

add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=15768000;
}
}
```
Start php5-fpm and nginx and you're done!
# Environment Detection
If you're deploying into production you'll want to create an environmental variable as `ENV=production`. In the instance where the variable isn't defined, Cachet will think that it's `local`.
# Security
After deploying to a server that isn't [Heroku](#heroku) you should run `php artisan key:generate` before setting Cachet up. This changes the application key (found in `/app/config/app.php`) which is used for encryption.
