Polls endpoints and posts their status on slack

This is a simple python script to monitor endpoints and post in slack based on their status codes.

The following commands will download and run the project. However, you'll need to do the configuration down below first.

git clone https://github.com/KevinAiken/endpoint-monitor.git
cd endpoint-monitor
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

First you'll need to create a Slack App: https://api.slack.com/apps?new_app=1

Add the 'incoming webhook' feature to your app: https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks

Make sure the sample curl command works successfully posts a message in your Slack.

Now you'll need to configure the script by setting up the config.json file. An example is included in the repo.

Set slackWebhookUrl to your webhook url.

Add any endpoints you want to poll, expected statuses, and the slack message to send. To avoid sending a message on certain statuses, set the corresponding message to "".

Every endpoint needs an unknownResponse key and a connection failure key. The unknownResponse message will be sent if an endpoint returns a status code you did not specifically define in your json.

You can use a message prefix by setting the message prefix field. If you do not want to use the field, set it to "". An example is <!channel>, which will make all of the messages start with @channel.
