A really easy way to monitor the health of a list of endpoints over time.
Add to your Gemfile:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'eir'
At your project root, create a uris.yaml
YAML file of the URIs you wish to monitor, e.g.:
- http://www.google.co.uk : Google
- http://www.yahoo.co.uk : Yahoo
- http://www.itv.com : ITV
From the console, navigate to your project root and simply run:
$ eir
A lightweight Sinatra app will start at http://localhost:8700
.
Both a pidfile and logs will be generated at server.pid
, eir_access.log
and eir_error.log
.
A successfully running app should have a directory structure like this:
.
├── Gemfile
├── Gemfile.lock
├── eir_access.log
├── eir_error.log
├── server.pid
└── uris.yaml
- Test connection error cases
- Parse/validate URIs
- Validate YAML
- Some decent CSS/JS (please help!)
