# [cachet-monitor](https://git.sp-codes.de/samuel-p/cachet-monitor)
[![Build Status](https://ci.sp-codes.de/api/badges/samuel-p/cachet-monitor/status.svg)](https://ci.sp-codes.de/samuel-p/cachet-monitor) [![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-GPL--3.0-orange)](#license) [![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/samuelph/cachet-monitor)](https://hub.docker.com/r/samuelph/cachet-monitor)
Simple monitor to watch URLs (`HTTP`) or ports (`TCP`, `UDP`) and update [Cachet](https://cachethq.io/) status.
## Configuration
cachet-monitor can monitor a list of services. Therefore it requires to setup all services in `./data/config.json`. __The id of each service has to match the cachet component id you want to update!__ Each service needs the following attributes (additionally to `id` and `type`):
* type `HTTP`
* `url`
* type `TCP` or `UDP`
* `host`
* `port`
Optionally you can add the following options to each service, or change the default values globally:
* `retry` - number how often the check should be retried if the service is offline (default value `0`)
* `waitUntilRetry` - number of seconds the retry should be delayed (default value `5`)
* `performanceTimeout` - time in seconds in which the request has to be completed, otherwise the status will be `SLOW` (Cachet `Performance Issues`) (default value `1`)
* `requestTimeout` - time in seconds in which the request has to be completed, otherwise the status will be offline (default value `30`)
* `offlineTimeUntilMajor` - time in seconds a service has to be offline until it turns from partial to major outage (default value `300`)
You can specify the interval (`cron`) your services should be checked. You can use the cron syntax from [`node-cron`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-cron). Finally you need to provide the information to your cachet instance (`api` and `token`).
To change the default values globally you can set the in the `defaults` object.
Example:
```json
{
"cron": "0 * * * * *",
"api": "https://<cachet-url>/api/v1",
"token": "<user-token>",
"services": [
{
"id": 1,
"type": "HTTP",
"url": "https://sp-codes.de",
"performanceTimeout": 1
},
{
"id": 2,
"type": "TCP",
"host": "sp-codes.de",
"port": 443
}
],
"defaults": {
"retry": 1,
"waitUntilRetry": 5,
"performanceTimeout": 2,
"requestTimeout": 10,
"offlineTimeUntilMajor": 600
}
}
```
## Run with docker
You can use the docker image [`samuelph/cachet-monitor`](https://hub.docker.com/r/samuelph/cachet-monitor) and mount a volume to `/monitor/data` to persist cache and config:
```bash
docker run -v /your/path/monitor/data:/monitor/data samuelph/cachet-monitor
```
You also can use it in `docker-compose.yml`:
```yaml
services:
monitor:
image: samuelph/cachet-monitor
restart: always
volumes:
- /your/path/monitor:/monitor/data
```
## Run from source
1. clone the repo
```bash
git clone https://git.sp-codes.de/samuel-p/cachet-monitor.git
```
2. install dependencies
```bash
npm install
```
3. run
```bash
npm run start
```
__Important: If you want `UDP` checks, you need to run it as `root`, because `nmap` allows `UDP` scans only for `root`.__
