3rd-party Python library for Pingdom's new REST API. Note that this API is still in beta, so may change at any time. For more information about the API, see Pingdom's blog post.
Currently, the library supports:
- Checks (create, delete, get, list)
Love writing code? EA2D is hiring!
- Pingdom account
- simplejson (Python 2.5 and earlier)
Install using the provided setup.py:
sudo setup.py install
Or install from PyPI:
sudo easy_install pingdom
Set up a Pingdom connection:
>>> import pingdom
>>> c = pingdom.PingdomConnection(PINGDOM_USERNAME, PINGDOM_PASSWORD) # Same credentials you use for the Pingdom website
Create a new Pingdom check:
# The wrong way:
>>> c.create_check('EA2D Website', 'http://ea2d.com', 'http')
ERROR:root:PingdomError: HTTP 400 Bad Request returned with message, "Invalid parameter value: host"
# The right way:
>>> c.create_check('EA2D Website', 'ea2d.com', 'http')
Check:EA2D Website
Get basic information about a Pingdom check:
>>> check = c.get_all_checks(['EA2D Website'])[0] # Expects a list, returns a list
>>> dir(check)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'id', 'lasterrortime', 'lastresponsetime', 'lasttesttime', 'name', 'status', 'type']
>>> check.id
302632
>>> check.status
u'up'
Get more detailed information about a Pingdom check:
>>> check = c.get_check(210702) # Look up by check ID
>>> dir(check)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'contactids', 'created', 'hostname', 'id', 'lasterrortime', 'lasttesttime', 'name', 'notifyagainevery', 'notifywhenbackup', 'resolution', 'sendnotificationwhendown', 'sendtoemail', 'sendtoiphone', 'sendtosms', 'sendtotwitter', 'status', 'type']
>>> check.lasterrortime
1289482981
Modify a Pingdom check:
>>> c.modify_check(210702, paused=True) # Pause the check
u'Modification of check was successful!'
>>> check = c.get_check(210702)
>>> check.status
u'paused'
Delete a Pingdom check:
>>> c.delete_check(302632)
{u'message': u'Deletion of check was successful!'}
