Aws::Site::Monitor
Monitor/map urls to AWS instance ids, and restart those instances in the event of a non 200 response. (i.e. jankpress server on AWS which needs to be restarted intermittently for no apparent reason other than jankpress doing jankpress things)
Intended to be ran as a standalone executable, and has a mini DB to track urls/instance_ids
Installation
gem install aws_site_monitorUsage
Add a site to watch list
aws_site_monitor add --url=https://www.google.com --instance-ids=12345 123456
Remove a site from watch list
aws_site_monitor remove --url=https://www.google.com
List sites on watchlist
aws_site_monitor ls
Start watching
aws_site_monitor start --check_every_seconds=60 --request_timeout_seconds=15 --aws_region='us-east-1'
Watch sites with killswitch url
Basically this feature is if you are running the script on a local server, i.e. raspberry pi, and you want to stop the process without physical access to it. You can pass in a killswitch_url, which can be for instance a dropbox url. Then if you need to kill the script, you can just delete the file.
aws_site_monitor start --killswitch_url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/gtcocntwdm6ae16/site_monitor_killswitch.txt?dl=0
List events (only tracked when non 200 response occurs)
aws_site_monitor list_events
Clear events
aws_site_monitor clear_events
Also make sure you have ENV variables set up for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
