Ruok

A very basic HTTP status checker implemented for fun with asynchronous Rust and an attempt at the actor model.

Configuration

Syntax / terminology inspired by docker-compose.

Basic example

The services and notifications are defined in a configuration file such as config.yaml.

# Services to check
services:
  service_1:
    url: http://localhost:3000/health_check
    # Time interval in seconds (will improve granularity soon)
    interval: 5
    notifications: [notification_1]
  smooth:
    url: http://localhost:3000/annie
    interval: 258
    notifications: [notification_1]

# Specify type of notification (only Slack for now but more can be added)
notifications:
  notification_1:
    type: slack
    url: http://foo.bar/baz

Run

The application can be run with the command ruok ./config.yaml.

Todo

• Basic authentication for the services.
• Better error handling.
• Add integration tests using something like mockito.
• Better documentation.
• Logging.
• More types of notifications.
