ChatBot Monitor Bot

ChatBot Monitor Bot Bot is a chatbot netowrk monitoring bot designed for Cisco Spark. This bot is meant for admins to track and troubleshoot their chat bot deployments, not an end user chat bot. This bot is solely driven by commands.

Getting Started

ChatBot Monitor Bot is meant to be a base to which to build. Although it does not use a database for storing space data adding one should be as simple of replacing the crud file with your own database methods.

ChatBot Monitor Bot uses a json file to store a limited set of space data which is loaded on startup and rewriten on new space adds and removals. Its simple but limited. <example.json> is a blank JSON file meant as a placeholder for space.json to be built.

Prerequisites

Nodejs, node-flint.

Monitored bots require the ability to respond to http requests.Express example below:

app.get('/monitor', function (req, res) {
  var roomCount = flint.bots.length;
  var json_response = {
    'name':'Bot being monitored',
    'roomCount': roomCount
  };
  res.status(200).json(json_response);
  res.end();
});
