Managing Components

While components are typically auto-discovered, you can also manage them directly through Chat. This page covers how to register new components, update existing ones, and remove components that are no longer needed.

Registering components

Add a new component to your status page when you want to track a service that has not yet been auto-discovered.

Using Chat

Chat can register components using the register_status_component tool. Simply ask:

"Register a new status component called checkout-service"

The assistant will create the component with:

• Name: The identifier you specified
• Description: Optional description if you provide one
• First seen: The current timestamp

Via API

You can also register components programmatically through the Sazabi API. See the API reference for details.

Updating components

Modify existing components to keep your status page accurate.

Re-registration

When Chat encounters a component during an investigation, it automatically updates the lastSeenAt timestamp. This keeps track of which components are actively being used.

Updating description

Ask Chat to update a component's description:

"Update the description for checkout-service to 'Handles all payment processing and cart operations'"

Name matching

Component names must match exactly for updates. The assistant looks up components by their exact name, so "checkout-service" and "Checkout Service" are treated as different components.

Deregistering components

Remove components that are no longer part of your system.

Soft-delete

The deregister_status_component tool performs a soft-delete:

• Component is hidden from the active status page
• Historical data (issues, timeline) is preserved
• Component can be restored if needed

To deregister, ask the assistant:

"Deregister the legacy-payment-gateway component"

Preservation

Soft-deleted components:

• Do not appear on the public status page
• Retain all historical issue data
• Keep their timeline history intact
• Can be restored by re-registering with the same name
