Essentially, what I need to do is, in the event of an external API being unavailable, put up a maintenance page.
I have a monitoring job via hangfire that determines the health status of an external API. In the event of it being down, all users need to be redirected to a simple holding page of some kind.
Traffic on one particular subfolder should be let through, as that will exist as a separate app.
I've looked at the MaintenanceMode package https://github.com/KevinJump/Our.Umbraco.MaintenanceMode, but that didn't seem to work for my particular version of Umbraco 8 (8.7), and if it did, I'm not sure how to control it programatically.
the maintance mode package should work for Umbraco v8.7 (if you have specific errors, give us a shout we can try to fix them).
if you where to control it programatically, I would suggest you inject the MaintenanceModeService into your hangfire job. and then you can turn the maintance mode on / off with the toggleMaintainanceMode call.
Thanks for the reply! Thanks for the information on injecting the maintenancemodeservice! That's great.
I'm not seeing a specific error, and nothing is showing in the logs, but the maintenance page doesn't show up when I browse to the site - it just seems to work as it always did, without showing a maintenance page at all.
Put up a holding page dynamically

Hi,
