Support library for Panl.com API access.
Project description
Access the Panl.com API – Python version
Getting Started
If you have setuptools installed, to install the Panl API, type:
easy_install pypanl
Otherwise, unpack the distribution zipped tar-file, change directory to the newly created folder and type:
python setup.py install
For Windows, type:
setup.py install
Create a Panl Monitor
Visit http://panl.com/ to create an account. On the Monitors page, click +New Monitor.
Configure the new monitor as follows:
Mode: on [the default]
Type -> Custom
Name: something mnemonic here, e.g. a server hostname
Error Action: Alert
Expected Time: Every 15 minutes
Overdue Action: Alert
on the Contacts tab tick Alerts for the appropriate device (email, SMS, etc.) and optionally add an SMS device if you need an immediate push alert, otherwise email will be okay
Save
click on the new monitor’s name (i.e. something mnemonic), scroll down and note the second line under the API Calls. It will look like this:
https://api.panl.com/aWfBto?up=Yes&value=23&k=6776cd9166e2c9a545e258a7e725f64e
You need to grab the Hash Code and the Access Key from this. The “Hash Code” is the six-character string (also provided on the Edit Monitor page), and the “Access Key” is the longer hex string.
Example Usage
Monitor a local RADIUS server by authenticating a test user:
monitor_hash = 'aWfBto' monitor_key = '6776cd9166e2c9a545e258a7e725f64e' import panl.custom, panl.utility ok = panl.utility.radius_auth('localhost', 'xyz123', 'fakeuser', 'abcd17') panl.custom.update(monitor_hash, monitor_key, 1, ok)
