Server Status Check

 

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 functions

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.
