About The Project

Monitoring the availability of network services is an important task for any project. At the same time, it is not always necessary to deploy universal solutions like Prometheus, a fairly simple solution. It is for such cases that this bot was created.

The bot will allow you to monitor the availability of HTTP(S) and TCP services and notify Telegram about changes in their status.

The project is in the MVP stage.

Getting Started

Follow the instructions below to run a bot using Docker.

Prerequisites

To run a bot, it is enough to have Docker or another environment for running containers.

Installation

1. Register a new bot and get a token for it: https://core.telegram.org/bots/features#creating-a-new-bot
2. Create a channel or group to which notifications will be sent
3. Add the bot to the channel/group as an administrator with the ability to send messages
4. Copy the configuration file config.example.yml to your working directory as config.yml
5. Make changes to the configuration file:
   • specify the bot token;
   • specify the channel/group ID, you can find out the ID, for example, by following the link like https://api.telegram.org/bot/getUpdates?allowed_updates=[] after adding the bot to a channel/group and finding the value of my_chat_member.chat.id;
   • list the services to monitor.
6. Run the docker container: docker run -d -v "$(pwd)/config.yml:/app/config.yml:ro" --name tgbot capcom6/service-monitor-tgbot:latest
