Monitoring

A collection of Go executables and custom libraries that they depend on. Pre-compiled darwin/amd executables will be attached to each release (see below to build for other platforms).

Commands

• cdc_status

Each command may have specific setup steps required in addition to the general steps below; see the command's README for more details.

Building and Installing

Prerequisites

• install Go
• clone this repo

Installing

Installing a package will create an executable in $HOME/go/bin (or %USERPROFILE%\go\bin on Windows). To modify this behavior, use the GOPATH and GOBIN env variables:

export GOPATH="$HOME/my_new_go_path" GOBIN="my_goodie_bag"
# now executables are installed in "$HOME/my_new_go_path/my_goodie_bag"

From the root of this repo, you can install a command using go install:

$ go install github.com/michaelmosher/monitoring/cmd/cdc_status

Note: Don't forget to add $GOPATH/$GOBIN to your $PATH:

# in (for example) ~/.bash_profile
export PATH="$PATH:~/go/bin"

Building

Installing a Go package is useful for running it locally, but if you want to run it on a different computer, you may need to "build" instead. The Go compiler has first-class cross-compiling support, which is controlled by the GOOS and GOARCH env variables:

$ export GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64
$ go build github.com/michaelmosher/monitoring/cmd/cdc_status

When cross-compiling, it can also be useful to name the generated executable appropriately:

$ go build -o "cdc_status-$GOOS-$GOARCH" github.com/michaelmosher/monitoring/cmd/cdc_status

See go help build for more information.
