PWMM - Pingdom window maintenance manager

Description

Simple program written in GO to simulate windows maintenances pausing and unpausing checks of pingdom.

It is my first program in GO and I have make it rushed, so less complaints and more PR's!!

install

You can clone this repo, install go and build it or you can download the linux / mac precompiled binary.

Also you can use a docker image

build

required

You need go > 1.11 to resolve dependencies automatically or docker

You can use older versions but you must install the dependencies manually before build.

to build run:

bash build.sh

how to use

You must define a yaml configuration with pingdom credentials and events (windows maintenance) check example.yml

credentials:
  apikey: pingdom api key
  user: pingdom user
  password: pingdom password

The windows maintenances are defined like events with three params: the exact name of pingdom check, and the start date & end dates. Always use the timezone of the OS that execute the program.

IMPORTANT respect the time format!

events:
  - name: "my website - home"
    startdate: "08-08-2019 03:55"
    finishdate: "08-08-2019 08:10"

docker

You can build your own image

# build image
docker build -t pwmm .

# run command with custom config in current dir
docker run --rm -d -v $(pwd):/workdir/config pwmm -f myconfig.yml

or use the image uploaded to official public repository of docker

docker run --rm -d -v $(pwd):/workdir/config mrmiludevops/pwmm -f myconfig.yml
