website-monitoring

Monitore your websites availability, http status code (current and history), certificate, redirects and more with

• Prometheus
• Prometheus blackbox exporter
• Grafana

Dependencies

• docker
• docker-composer

Usage

• git clone [email protected]:mbelloiseau/website-monitoring.git && cd website-monitoring
• Edit config/prometheus/targets.yml (see targets.yml.example) or use ./gen_target.sh website-1.tld website-2.tld ...
• Create and start containers docker-compose up -d
• Visualize dashboards

If you already have Prometheus and Prometheus blackbox exporter up and running just import the dashboards (website-monitoring or overview) and use the right datasource and jobs (http_job and icmp_job)

Dashboards

Website monitoring

• HTTP status code
• HTTP redirects
• HTTP version
• TLS version
• Certificate validity
• ICMP
• DNS lookup time
• Availability over the last 24 hours, 3 days and 7 days
• Probe duration and status code history

Overview

• Total number of targets
• Percentage of HTTP 200 status code
• Percentage of targets using SSL
• Global invalid status code history

Tips and tricks

PromQL

Some useful PromQL queries

• Number of days till certificate expiration
  • (probe_ssl_earliest_cert_expiry{instance=~"$target",job="$http_job"} - time()) / (60*60*24)
• Display bad HTTP status code
  • probe_http_status_code{job="$http_job",instance=~"$target"} != 200
• Count the number of each status code
  • count_values("code", probe_http_status_code)
• Percentage of HTTP 200
  • ((count(count by (instance) (probe_http_status_code == 200))) / (count(count by (instance) (probe_http_status_code)))) * 100

Misc

• Request blackbox exporter
  • curl -s "localhost:9115/probe?module=http_2xx&target=target.tld"
