Running make command not producing any executable.

[idevatoz]

No executable is included in repository and running make command not producing any executable.

There is a need for use case example to demonstrate where and when this client can be used.
Can this client be used as a stand alone client, or it is writtent to be used part of Grafana Cloud only ?

Hi @idevatoz, this is a library so there are no executables.

Just by chance yesterday I added an example of how to use the library, and that does produce a binary, but the functionality is limited to a very specific case.

Where you looking for a general purpose binary to interact with the SM API? If yes, do you have use cases in mind?

Thank you @mem , looking at the name of the repository and seeing client, thought it might come with a command that accepts JSON or YAML file to create the checks automagically, didn't notice it is a library.

If it is a library, a good use case would be a supported language, like for example if Python can be used to access this library and add either of checks.

Hi @idevatoz if you are looking for a way to manage checks as config. We have support for Synthetic Monitoring in Grafana Terraform Providor, see our docs for details

Now there's actually a command, sm-client. It's still work in progress, but it's getting there.

I'm still thinking about how to implement the part that takes JSON as input and creates / updates the corresponding check based on that.

I'm going to close this issue.
