Gotify checks

Standalone system/service checks that pushes alerts to gotify.

Getting started

Clone repository to your local machine using git clone.

Prerequisites

python 3 is must have, follow you OS instructions for installation method. Any cron would be nice to have, as you have to schedule checks somehow. pip3 is needed for installation of missing modules (see below). requests is python module that most likely isn't available in clean python3 installation. It's used in every script to send notifications. Please follow https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html for instructions on how to install modules or just execute python -m pip install requests.

Usage

Check_disks

~ python checks/check_disk.py -h
usage: check_disk.py [-h] -t TOKEN -U URL -w WARN [-u UNIT] [-b]
                     [--hostname HOSTNAME] [-p PRIORITY]
                     filesystem [filesystem ...]

positional arguments:
  filesystem

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t TOKEN, --token TOKEN
                        your gotify token (default: None)
  -U URL, --URL URL     your gotify URL (default: None)
  -w WARN, --warn WARN  warn level, can be either size or % depending on
                        chosen format (default: 10)
  -u UNIT, --unit UNIT  unit size (default: GB)
  -b, --bytes           set size format for warnings rather than percent
                        (default: False)
  --hostname HOSTNAME   insert your own host name instead of grabbed from

What's next

Work in progress:

• check_updates To do:
• Check RAM
• Check CPU
• Check service
• Check website endpoint Ideas?

Project goal

I realize that these checks may not solve any existing problem, as there are plenty of grown and established monitoring solutions (like nagios or zabbix) that may send notifications to gotify. Still, I have few arguments why actually I'm writing it:

1. I want to learn python by doing
2. I couldn't make nagios talk to my gotify server, also I got scared to break production monitoring, and too lazy to make dev environment.
3. I need monitoring solution without root priviliges.
4. I want to monitor with it only mission critical hosts/services

Contributing

Any help or advice is highly aprreciated.
