A Kubernetes controller for managing Pingdom checks

Heimdallr

Heimdallr manages external checks for endpoints in a Kuberneres cluster. It is based on Heptio Cruise but uses Custom Resource Definitions to define Pingdom checks instead of inferring them from Ingress objects.

Installation

1. Deploy Heimdallr to your cluster:

   kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jeromefroe/heimdallr/master/deployment/heimdallr.yaml

2. Create a secret with your Pingdom credentials:

   kubectl -n heimdallr create secret generic pingdom \
           --from-literal=PINGDOM_USERNAME=user@domain.com \
           --from-literal=PINGDOM_PASSWORD=password \
           --from-literal=PINGDOM_APPKEY=appkey

3. Create a HTTP check for an endpoint (this will create a check for google.com):

   kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jeromefroe/heimdallr/master/deployment/check.yaml

That's it! Heimdallr will create a Pingdom HTTP check for the given endpoint.
