django-crontab-monitor

Overview

Store crontab-based functions in Django Model so that users can add/disable/delete crontab-based functions on API service rather than login the server to deal with system crontab configuration.

The minimal interval of the executing function is one minute as Linux crontab.

Requirements

Python3-3.5+
Croniter-0.3+
Django-2.2+
django-guardian-2.1+
Django-filter-2.2+
djangorestframework-3.10+
djangorestframework-filters-1.0+

Optional

django-crontab-0.7+

Installation

pip install `<django-crontab-monitor-path>`

Add 'crontab_monitor' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'guardian',
    'rest_framework',
    'django_filters',
    'rest_framework_filters',
    'crontab_monitor',
]

Execute single_entry_point_of_management by crontab of Linux

* * * * *   user /path/virtualenv/bin/python3 /path/your_project/manage.py \
                 single_entry_point_of_management parameter1 parameter2

Execute single_entry_point_of_crontab by django-crontab

CRONJOBS = [
    ('* * * * *',
     'crontab_monitor.crontabs.single_entry_point_of_crontab',
     ['arg1'], {'key1': 'value1'}),
]

Execute single_entry_point_of_view by some monitor services(ex: nodeping)

Put a path into urlpatterns in urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('what_ever_you_want/', include('crontab_monitor.urls'), name='crontab_monitor'),
]

Then add a check with url: https://your_domain/what_ever_you_want/single_entry_point_of_view/?me=nodeping into nodeping service.

Crontab-based function example: crontab_monitor.crontabs.check_outside_web

After ./manage.py migrate crontab_monitor, it will create an Inspection object for you. And we can remove "#" from this inspection.cron_format to enable it.

In [1]: from crontab_monitor.models import *
In [2]: insp = Inspection.objects.get(name='check_outside_web',
   ...:                               note='An example for showing a well cron function')
In [3]: vars(insp)
{'_state': <django.db.models.base.ModelState at 0x10d8a4490>,
 'id': 1,
 'cron_format': '#* * * * *',
 'name': 'check_outside_web',
 'function_option_id': 5,
 'function_note': 'An example for showing a well cron function',
 'kwargs': 'web_urls=https://www.google.com/|https://www.ho600.com/'}
In [4]: insp.cron_format = insp.cron_format.replace('#', '')
In [5]: insp.save()

If you want to disable this example crontab-based function, then just put a prefix "#" in inspection.cron_format.
