Up - A next generation status monitor

Project description

Sometimes you just need to know, is it up? The goal of this project is to create an easy to use, but highly customizable status monitor.

Setup

First start by installing the environment.

$ mkdir example-status

$ cd example-status

$ virtualenv . -p python3 --no-site-packages

$ bin/pip install up

Now you need to create the upfile.py. It goes in the same folder as everything else. From here you can setup what you want to monitor.

from up import status, source, sink

class ExampleStatus(status.StatusMonitor):

    source = source.HTTPStatusSource('Example Status', 'https://example.com/')
    sink = sink.StdOutStatusSink()

You can now run it like this.

$ bin/up
Example Status: UP

Monitoring Multiple URL’s

Up uses a “tinker-toy” pattern allowing you to combine sources to build whatever kind of monitor you need. A StatusTreeSource will let you combine multiple sources into one.

from up import status, source, sink

class ExampleStatus(status.StatusMonitor):

    # You can also try a ThreadedTreeSource which runs the monitors
    # in parallel.
    source = source.StatusTreeSource('Example Status', [
        source.HTTPStatusSource('PROD', 'https://example.com/'),
        source.HTTPStatusSource('QA', 'https://qa.example.com/')
    ])
    sink = sink.StdOutStatusSink()

Up will query each of the sources and give you a simplified status.

$ bin/up
Example Status: HALF UP

For more information use -v.

$ bin/up -v
Example Status: HALF UP (50%)
    PROD: UP
    QA: DOWN

Checking the status of GitHub

Up comes with a source that reads from GitHub’s status API.

from up import status, source, sink

class ExampleStatus(status.StatusMonitor):

    source = source.GitHubStatusSource('GitHub Status')
    sink = sink.StdOutStatusSink()
$ bin/up -v
GitHub Status: UP

Developers Setup

$ virtualenv . -p python3 --no-site-packages

$ bin/python setup.py develop
