uptime
Script to periodically check a specific website for response times. Inspired by a project at work, I needed something similar at home! Unfortunately our work projet was not opensource, so I had to re-create this codebase. Now I want some of the same features at work, so I need to rewrite the work codebase to include these features I have on my home codebase!
pip3 install -U pycurl pyyaml apscheduler
./uptime.py /path/to/config.yaml
The following options can be set with environment variables:
| environment variable | description | default |
|---|---|---|
| GRAPHITE_HOST | Hostname of graphite server | graphite |
| GRAPHITE_PORT | Port of graphite server | 2003 |
| GRAPHITE_METRIC_PREFIX | Metric prefix, see below | uptime |
| TIMEOUT | Connection timeout (c.setopt(c.TIMEOUT)), in seconds | 30 |
| CHECK_INTERVAL | How often to request the URL, in seconds | 5 |
| USER_AGENT | User agent sent in the curl request | Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:10.0) |
| USE_GZIP | Request gzip/compressed response, true/false | true |
Sample configuration:
graphite:
host: 192.168.101.10
port: 2003
prefix: uptime
timeout: 30
user_agent: "libcurl (custom uptime check)"
checks:
- host: https://bahnhof.se
path: /
interval: 5
- host: https://gyttja.com
path: /
interval: 5

Start a localhost graphite for testing:
docker run -d --name graphite --restart=always -p 8080:80 -p 2003:2003 graphiteapp/graphite-statsd
