Pingo2
Pingo2 is a utility for monitoring the availability of hosts and services. It is based on Pingo, with the following modifications:
- Target address is specified as a URL, with 'http', 'https', 'tcp' and 'ping' as possible schemes
- Email recipient and alert interval can be specified to receive alerts
- Check HTTP virtualhost independently of server hostname. This is useful where GeoDNS might send a request to the closest server, rather than the specific server you need to check (works for both http & https).
- Standoff interval: prevents brief flap (host down, then back up) from generating an alert
Usage
./pingo2 -c config.json
An example config file is as follows:
{
"Timeout":10,
"Standoff":60,
"SMTP":{
"Hostname":"localhost",
"Port":25
},
"Alert":{
"ToEmail":"hostmaster@foobar.org",
"FromEmail":"noreply@foobar.org",
"Interval": 900
},
"Targets":[
{
"Name":"basic HTTP example, default interval 30s",
"Addr": "http://example.com",
},
{
"Name":"virtualhost example, specific interval, keyword match",
"Addr": "http://dogbert.example.com",
"Host": "vhost1.example.com",
"Interval":20,
"Keyword":"Look for this phrase"
},
{
"Name":"basic HTTPS example",
"Addr": "https://secure.example.com",
},
{
"Name":"ping example",
"Addr": "ping://dogbert.example.com",
},
{
"Name":"tcp example",
"Addr": "tcp://dogbert.example.com:5432",
}
]
}
