pynitor 0.2.0

A simple application to monitor the health of multiple applications and send notifications to Discord.

Pynitor

Pynitor is a simple Python application to monitor the health of multiple applications and send notifications to a Discord channel if any of them become unhealthy. It supports specifying individual webhooks for each application to allow for targeted notifications.

Installation

First, clone the repository and navigate into the directory:

git clone https://github.com/na0495/pynitor.git
cd pynitor

Then, install the package:

pip install .

Usage

After installation, you can run the monitor using the command:

pynitor

Configuration

The configuration is defined in app/config.py. This file contains a list of applications to monitor, along with their health check URLs and optional webhook URLs for notifications. Here's a breakdown of the configuration options:

• APPLICATIONS: A list of dictionaries where each dictionary represents an application to monitor. Each dictionary can have:

  • name: A name for the application (used in notifications).
  • url: The health check URL for the application.
  • webhook_url (optional): The Discord webhook URL for notifications specific to this application.

• DEFAULT_WEBHOOK_URL: The default webhook URL to use if an application doesn't specify its own webhook.

• CHECK_INTERVAL: How often (in seconds) to check the health of the applications.

Example Configuration

In app/config.py, you can define your applications like this:

APPLICATIONS = [
    {
        "name": "App1",
        "url": "https://yourapp1.com/health/",
        "webhook_url": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/your-webhook-id-1"
    },
    {
        "name": "App2",
        "url": "https://yourapp2.com/health/",
        "webhook_url": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/your-webhook-id-2"
    },
    # Add more applications as needed
]

# Default webhook URL if none is specified for an application
DEFAULT_WEBHOOK_URL = "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/default-webhook-id"

CHECK_INTERVAL = 300  # Check interval in seconds (e.g., 300 seconds = 5 minutes)

Adding Applications

To monitor more applications, simply add them to the APPLICATIONS list in app/config.py. Each application can have its own webhook_url. If no webhook_url is provided, the DEFAULT_WEBHOOK_URL will be used.

Deployment

• Running Periodically: To run pynitor periodically, you can set up a cron job (Linux/macOS) or use Task Scheduler (Windows). For example, to run the script every 5 minutes, add this to your crontab:

  */5 * * * * /path/to/python /path/to/pynitor
  

  Replace /path/to/python with the path to the Python executable and /path/to/pynitor with the path to the pynitor command.
