My first application created to monitor status of external application via GET request. Example of server response
To simulate application working it is possible to start mock server ./mock_server/mock_server.py which will generate needed responses.
Main function of application is to constantly check when last time data on external application were updated which is represented in change date/time filed in computed_time.
After each change depending on confguration fille application will print sufficent mesage to termina,log file, save time diff to database or send notification via RocketChat.
Example configuration file:
servers: # list of servers
PROD:
name: PROD # name of server after which object will be named
adress: http://127.0.0.1:5000/version # adress
db_save: false # specify if time diff need to be saved to datbase
notification: false # specify if notification via RocetChat need to send
after crossing treshold time without update
notification_treshold: 15 # threshold time after which notification will be sent.
msg_interval: 5 # time interval of repeating message (in minutes)
credentials:
DB:
engine: mysql+mysqlconnector # engine used to create connetion using SqlAlchemy
username: database_user # user
password: database_password # password
adress: 127.0.0.1:3306 # adress
db: example_database # database name
table: example_table # table name
ROCKETCHAT: #RocketChat channel webhook
webhook: https://rock.sever.example/hooks/random/random
headers: { "content-type": "application/json" }
logs: #logs settings
filename: runs.log
filemode: a
level: logging.INFO
main: #Time interval of server checkups (in seconds)
checkup_interval: 60 application will check status of servers every 60 seconds
I know that many things could be imporved however,as application is no longer needed I won't be developing it any further.
