A simple Python program to check Linux system's resource utilization and service availability.
Currently it can:
- Check CPU, RAM and Disk space
- Send notifications via SendGrid and Simplepush
Planned functionality:
- Send notifications via Telegram, WhatsApp and IRC.
- Check container status.
- Report new active SSH sessions.
- Monitor logs to find suspicious activity.
- Run continuously as a service in the background.
To install the app, clone the repository and install with pip:
git clone https://github.com/Lab-Brat/pyLookout.git
cd pyLookout
python -m pip install .
To send notifications pyLookout reads API keys from the environment.
SendGrid requires to specify sending and destination email addresses, and also an API key:
SENDGRID_TO
SENDGRID_FROM
SENDGRID_API_KEY
Simplepush requires only the API key and sends notifications to the app"
SIMPLEPUSH
To run the program, first install it with pip.
It will create an executable in /home/$USER/.local/bin/
,
(which should be in $PATH), and launch it:
pylookout
It will gather server metrics and send a notificationa via preferred method if a certain total utilization percentage is reached (75% by default).
Add it to crontab to run on a schedule.
