hobelar¶ ↑

Hobelar talks to Reconnoiter’s REST interface. The name comes from a variety of light cavalry, originally from Ireland, used for skirmishing and reconnaissance.

sudo gem install hobelar

Noit only supports https connections using a valid client certificate. The REST interface, by default, is on port 43191.

require 'rubygems'
require 'hobelar'
h = Hobelar.new("https://localhost:43191","client.crt","client.key")

Supported operations are #get_check, #set_check and #del_check. All operations take a UUID and an optional path. #set_check also takes a hash structure that contains the attributes and config for the check you wish to add.

require 'uuid'
uuid = UUID.new.generate
attributes = {:config => {:url => "http://test.example.com/", :code=>200},
 :module=>"http", 
 :target => "x.x.x.x" }
h.set_check(uuid, attributes)

If you specify an :inherit config key, it will use the value of that key for explicit config inheritance.

If you don’t have a valid CA, you’ll need to disable peer validation when instantiating Hobelar

h = Hobelar.new("https://localhost:43191","client.crt","client.key", no_peer: true))
