Issue with creating group

[radokristof]

I'm still having problems with groups even after the last fix in #8

INFO [autokuma::sync] Creating new monitor: bitwarden
WARN [autokuma::sync] Cannot create monitor bitwarden because group vault does not exist

The only difference from sample config is that I'm using a custom tag_name: AutoKumaL01

The group is indeed there, the name is also correct.

[radokristof]

The trick with removing parent_name now has different behavior. If I remove it, the monitor will be created (outside of the group of course) but adding it back will just cause another error:

INFO [autokuma::sync] Updating monitor: bitwarden
WARN [autokuma::sync] Encountered error during sync: No group named vault could be found

[BigBoot]

Hmm, looks like I harcoded the kuma label name to AutoKuma when resolving groups and forgot to read it from the config.

[radokristof]

I just changed it because multiple instances (servers) connect to the same uptime-kuma server. If I don't change it, it will interfere with each other.

Should work now on latest master

@BigBoot I'm still seeing this behavior on latest master. Could it be a combination of other factors?

  autokuma:
    image: ghcr.io/bigboot/autokuma:latest
    container_name: autokuma
    restart: unless-stopped
    profiles: ["all","kuma","morty"]
    networks:
      - $PROXY_NETWORK
      - $SOCKET_NETWORK
    depends_on:
      - uptime-kuma
    environment:
      - AUTOKUMA__KUMA__URL=http://uptime-kuma:3001
      - AUTOKUMA__KUMA__USERNAME=${KUMA_USER}
      - AUTOKUMA__KUMA__PASSWORD=${KUMA_PASSWORD}
      - AUTOKUMA__TAG_NAME=autokuma
      - DOCKER_HOST=http://socket-proxy:2375
    labels:
      - kuma.kuma.group.name=Kuma
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.parent_name=kuma
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.name=Autokuma
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.docker_container={{container_name}}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.docker_host=1

Edit: I tried both parent_name as well as parent, with both Kuma and kuma.

Edit 2: Below is my new go to format (for now) and I'm leaving the parent lines commented out otherwise I get an error.

      #- kuma.${AUTOKUMA_GROUP_ID_MONITORING}.group.name=${AUTOKUMA_GROUP_NAME_MONITORING}
      #- kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.parent_name=${AUTOKUMA_GROUP_NAME_MONITORING}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.name=Portainer HTTP
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.url=http://port.$DOMAINNAME
      #- kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.parent_name=${AUTOKUMA_GROUP_NAME_MONITORING}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.name=Portainer
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.docker_container={{container_name}}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.docker_host=1

Following up on my prior, I noted that the groups do appear to work when they are lowercase.

This works

      - kuma.{{container_name}}.group.name=portainer
      #- kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.parent_name=Portainer
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.name=Portainer Web
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.url=https://port.$DOMAINNAME
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.parent_name=portainer
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.name=Portainer Docker
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.docker_container={{container_name}}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.docker_host=1

This fails

      - kuma.{{container_name}}.group.name=Portainer
      #- kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.parent_name=Portainer
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.name=Portainer Web
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.url=https://port.$DOMAINNAME
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.parent_name=Portainer
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.name=Portainer Docker
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.docker_container={{container_name}}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.docker_host=1

This also works, creating a capitalized group and assigning the members to the group, but I'm not sure why it works.

      - kuma.{{container_name}}.group.name=Portainer
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.parent_name=portainer
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.name=Portainer Web
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.url=https://port.$DOMAINNAME
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.parent_name=portainer
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.name=Portainer Docker
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.docker_container={{container_name}}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-docker.docker.docker_host=1

[BigBoot]

The parent_name is referring to the autokuma id of the group, not the display name, so this should work:

      - kuma.${AUTOKUMA_GROUP_ID_MONITORING}.group.name=${AUTOKUMA_GROUP_NAME_MONITORING}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.parent_name=${AUTOKUMA_GROUP_ID_MONITORING}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.name=Portainer HTTP
      - kuma.{{container_name}}-http.http.url=http://port.$DOMAINNAME
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.parent_name=${AUTOKUMA_GROUP_ID_MONITORING}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.name=Portainer
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.docker_container={{container_name}}
      - kuma.{{container_name}}.docker.docker_host=1

Awesome, that makes sense, super helpful. Is parent_name documented? I thought I saw parent in the attributes available.

[BigBoot]

It's mentioned in the usage section of the readme and is handled purely by autokuma, I added this as a way to reference other monitors as there would be no way to get the actual id from uptime kuma before creating the parent, the MONITOR_TYPES.md is generated from uptime kuma source and therefore doesn't include it.
