GeoMonitor

DEPRECATED. See https://github.com/geoblacklight/geo_monitor for the Rails engine version.

GeoMonitor is a application that monitors the health and availability of GeoServer hosts and layers. Built at Stanford University out of the desire to build a better discovery application for geospatial data, GeoBlacklight.

Features

• RESTful API
• Host status pings
• Individual layer status using WMS requests
• Host and layer availability history

Installation

*Requires PostgreSQL 9.

Create file data/transformed.json

This should be an array of geoblacklight-schema documents.

Quick way (sample of documents)

$ curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/geoblacklight/geoblacklight-schema/master/examples/selected.json -o data/transformed.json

Setup database

$ rake db:create
$ rake db:seed

Ping hosts

$ rake ping:hosts

Run tests

$ rake ci

Run checks on layers

# All layers
$ rake layers:check_all

# Check empties (layers that have not been checked yet)
$ rake layers:check_empties

# Check Stanford layers (private layers restricted to Stanford network)
$ rake layers:check_stanford

These rake tasks can be setup on cron jobs using the whenever gem. See /config/schedule.rb

every '15 * * * *' do
  rake 'layers:check_stanford'
end

Cleanup database by deleting old statuses

This task removes all but the last 200 statuses for each layer and saves them to a csv in data

$ rake cleanup:status
