Overseer

A site monitoring tool written in Go using Beego. Frontend built with AngularJS & Chart.js.

This project was built for learning purposes. It is still in progress and likely will never be considered a finished product. I would recommend that you search for other Monitoring Servies should you need reliable monitoring on an application. Some of the software used in this project is outdated, and this project is not actively maintained.

Installation

1. Manually install Go 1.9.7+, 1.10.3+, or 1.11+
2. Install Beego's "Bee" CLI Tool:

   go get github.com/beego/bee

   Please note that you must ensure your $GOPATH/bin is found in your $PATH in order to run bee.
3. Clone & init this repository:

   git clone git@github.com:mbitson/overseer.git
   go mod init github.com:mbitson/overseer

4. Copy app.conf.sample to app.conf and cofigure the appname and httpport.
5. Run the program:

   bee run

6. Reset admin user's defaulted password using the web UI: http://127.0.0.1:2020/ (unless port or host are changed in app.conf)

Site Types

This system will attempt to understand the different types of applications you might have for a domain. You can create prebuilt checks which will monitor for application-specific flags. So far, the list of understood applications is:

• WordPress
• Magento 2
• Magento
• Generic / Static

Todo

• Test this appplication with a custom mysqlurls value in app.conf
• Replace a static cron for site checks with a queue that allows variable check periods
• Implement alerts
• Implement contacts
• Implement raw data view
• Update navigation & "Sites needing attention" with WebSocket data
