A bash script to work with UptimeRobot, StatusCake, HealthChecks.io, and Upptime monitors via their respective APIs. It checks to make sure that the API key/token, username for StatusCake, and your GitHub username and the name of your Upptime repository on GitHub, that you provided are valid before performing any requested operations.
Big thanks to nemchik for all the ideas and help with getting some things to work, and to 1activegeek for asking me to create this for him in the first place, albeit MUCH less complicated than what it's become.
Feel free to check out their work and buy them a beer too!
This script partners up with my Application Healthchecks script that provides checks for a lot of popular HTPC applications, IE: Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, etc. that work with HealthChecks.io. Tronitor would allow you to pause and unpause the checks manually or on a schedule, via a cronjob, for planned maintenance, etc. This essentially allows you to create your own maintenance windows without having to pay for a premium account with either of the providers.
The cURL command is required for the script to function as it's used to submit API calls to the providers. If it is not installed before you execute the script most, if not all, operations will fail. Because of this, the script does check whether or not cURL is installed and, if not, it will inform you as such and then exit.
The jq command is required for the script to function as it is used to more easily extract data from JSON files created by the script when gathering information for the monitoring providers and the corresponding checks/tests.
It is also used by the script to automatically format the JSON output into a human-readable and colorized output. There is a variable at the beginning of the script to set the use of the jq command (strictly for displaying the output of the script) to true or false. I've personally encountered some issues with it when using the script within a cronjob and not using jq to format the output resolves them. It is set to true by default.
# Set JQ to false to disable its use for displaying output.
# This works better for using the script with cronjobs, etc.
jq='true'tronyx@suladan:~$ sudo apt install jq

The best method to get the script working is to use git to clone the repository onto your preferred machine:

The script stores the API keys/token, username for StatusCake, and, for Upptime, your GitHub username, PAT (Personal Access Token), and the name of your Upptime reposistory, for up to all four providers so that you do not need multiple copies of the script to work with each of the different providers.
If you do not know how to create a PAT for your GitHub account, you can checkout their documentation on it HERE.
The first time that you run the script for a specific monitor it will alert you that the API key/token, etc. are missing and prompt you to input them:
healthchecksDomain variable on line 24 of the tronitor.sh script with the domain name that you're hosting the application with.
You can also simply open the script with your favorite text editor and add your provider's API key, if you're using StatusCake, your account username, and, if you're using Upptime, the repository owner (organization or user), your GitHub username, PAT (Personal Access Token), and the name of your Upptime reposistory.
After entering the information, the script will check whether or not it is valid and then add it to the script for you.
If you use the alert option, be sure to also enter in your Discord/Slack webhook URL. If you forget this as well, the script will also prompt you to enter it:
The -m/--monitor option accepts both full and shorthand versions of the provider's name:

tronyx@suladan:~/tronitor$ ./tronitor.sh -m uptimerobot -s
Here are the basic statistics for your UptimeRobot account:
{
"stat": "ok",
"account": {
"email": "me@domain.com",
"monitor_limit": 50,
"monitor_interval": 5,
"up_monitors": 14,
"down_monitors": 0,
"paused_monitors": 0
}
}Display all monitors associated with your account and their current statuses:
tronyx@suladan:~/tronitor$ ./tronitor.sh --monitor ur -l
The following UptimeRobot monitors were found in your UptimeRobot account:
Plex (ID: 779783111) - Status: Up
Radarr (ID: 780859973) - Status: Down
Sonarr (ID: 780859962) - Status: Paused
Tautulli (ID: 780859975) - Status: Seems downFind and display all monitors in your account that are currently paused and then prompt you as to whether or not you would like to unpause them:
tronyx@suladan:~/tronitor$ ./tronitor.sh -m ur -f
The following StatusCake monitors are currently paused:
Plex (ID: 779783111)
Radarr (ID: 780859973)
Sonarr (ID: 780859962)
Tautulli (ID: 780859975)
Would you like to unpause the paused monitors? ([Y]es or [N]o):You can also use the -n option to display the same list, but not display a prompt to unpause the paused monitors.
Using the -w option will check for any paused monitors and, if there are any, send an alert to the specified Discord/Slack webhook like below:
If you set the notifyAll option to true, Tronitor will send a notification even if there are no paused monitors:
Display all information for a single monitor:
tronyx@suladan:~/tronitor$ ./tronitor.sh -m uptimerobot -i 'plex'
{

}Displays a list of all of the alert contacts configured for the account:
tronyx@suladan:~/tronitor$ ./tronitor.sh -m ur -a
The following alert contacts have been found for your UptimeRobot account:

}
]
}This can be helpful when creating a new monitor as you can use the id field of the alert contact to specify the alert contact that you want to be notified when an event occurs with the new monitor that you're creating.
Pause all monitors in your account:
tronyx@suladan:~/tronitor$ ./tronitor.sh -m uptimerobot -p all

}/tmp/tronitor/healthchecks.lock, so that you can modify your existing HC.io script to check for the lock file and not send pings if it is present.

}Monitors can be created using this option.
Modify the settings of the corresponding monitor type template file in the corresponding Templates directory for your provider, IE: creating a new HTTP(s) monitor for UptimeRobot would require you to modify the Templates/UptimeRobot/new-http-monitor.json file. The full API documentation for the two providers can be found HERE (UR), HERE (SC), and HERE (HC) for information on monitor types and any required values and what they're for.
The following example is for creating a new HTTP(s) monitor for Google:
tronyx@suladan:~/tronitor$ cat Templates/UptimeRobot/new-http-monitor.json
{
"api_key": "",
"friendly_name": "Google",
"url": "https://google.com",
"type": 1,
"http_username": "",
"http_password": "",
"interval": 300,
"alert_contacts": "",
"ignore_ssl_errors": "false",
"format": "json"
}The api_key field is filled in automatically by the script, but you can still add it yourself if you'd like to. The alert_contacts field can be filled in with the id field from your preferred alert contact which you can retrieve using the -a/--alerts option with the script.
Then just execute the script to create the monitor:
tronyx@suladan:~/tronitor$ ./tronitor.sh --monitor uptimerobot -c http
{
"stat": "ok",
"monitor": {
"id": 781067574,
"status": 1
}
}Reset (deleting all stats and response time data) all or specific monitors in your account:
tronyx@suladan:~/tronitor$ ./tronitor.sh -m ur -r google
***WARNING*** This will reset ALL data for the specified monitors!!!
