Status Check Headers Formatting

[gregeeh]

Hi all,

What do I need to enter into the Status Check Headers field when editing an item so I end up with this in the config file:

statusCheckHeaders:
X-Api-Key: 12345678901234567890

Enter the value as a JSON object in that editor field: {"X-Api-Key":"<your-api-key>"}. Dashy defines statusCheckHeaders as an object whose header name is the key and header content is the value (official documentation); it will serialize to the YAML structure you showed.

I think that might not work actually, since it will convert it to string when it saves
Bad design on my part 🫤

You'll need to use the YAML configurator instead for this (Config menu --> Edit Config)
add it like this:

statusCheckHeaders:
  X-Api-Key: '12345678901234567890'

Let me know how you get on with that

Not possible from that form sadly. But I do have a todo item to re-work how the UI editing works, so hopefully this will be made easier in the future.

Yep, adding via Edit | Config works. Thank you.
