Pandik

Monitoring tool for web services. Self-hosted pingdom alternative.

Installation

$ go get github.com/oguzbilgic/pandik

./pandik

Configuration

Pandik uses ~/.pandik.json file for configuration by default, but you can overwrite this by using -c command file with path to your configuration file. Here is a sample configuration file:

{

  "monitors": [
    {
      "type": "http-status",
      "url": "http://localhost:8000",
      "name": "My website healthcheck",
      "freq": "10s",
      "timeout": "2s"
    }

  ],
  
  "notifiers": [
    {
      "type": "flapjack",
      "address" : "boot2docker:6380"
    },
    { 
      "type": "stderr"
    }
  ]
}

Usage

Locate your configuration file and run the comman bellow

$ pandik -c /path/to/configuration.json

To run pandik as a deamon on your system use the -d flag

$ pandik -d -c /path/to/configuration.json

By default pandik uses ~/.pandik.log for deamon's log file, but this can be overwritten by -l flag

$ pandik -d -l /path/to/log.file -c /path/to/configuration.json

Usage with Flapjack

http://flapjack.io is a alert routing and event processing system, pandik can feed events into it (flapjack expects a heartbeat of events).

To use this - use the flapjack notifier - with the "address" being the redis hostname and port.
