Houston::Watcher

Houston Watcher sets up Houston to monitor an endpoint for availability and potentially other additional information.

At the interval specified in the configuration, it will send a GET request to an endpoint and record both the status of that request and a JSON response, if given. These will be stored in the database as Checkins, which belong to a project.

For reacting to checkins, subscribe to the watcher:success and watcher:fail triggers.

Installation

gem "houston-watcher"

And in config/main.rb, add:

use :watcher do
  watch :project_slug, url: https://..., every: "30 minutes"
end
