Custom status checks

[sadortun]

Hi !

Related to issue #99, #92 #2, #96 #74 #35 It would be nice to be able to add custom verification methods. I have dig a little bit in the code, and i think we should add a possiblilty to extend the current checks with custom ones.

I would propose to add folder in which every validation class would be loaded dynamically

/plugins/validations/

I think it would be a great addition to your project.

class AbstractStatusUpdater 
{
    /**
     * Get the human readable name of this updater
     */
    abstract protected function GetLabel();

    /**
     * Check the current server as a service
     * @return double  The latency
     */
    abstract protected function RunCheck();
}

The logic for handling failure and retries ( $run, and $max_run ) would remain in StatusUpdater class and the actual checks would be delegated to the concrete childs classes.

This would allow third parties to create new updaters for specific types of services.

class PingCheck {}
class IMAPCheck {}
class Pop3Check{}
class DNSCheck {}
class MysqlCheck {}

We have some time available to initiate this development in the next weeks, and we would like to make sure to have any available input from your side to ensure the maximum re-usability of this new feature.

Thanks,
Samuel

@nerdalertdk I have a working branch, but i had some work to do to allow loading forms using ajax depending on which option you choose. You can have a look in my fork : https://github.com/sadortun/phpservermon

Hi, any news on this?

I have an OpenVPN server, which is running on 1194 UDP port. Any possibility to monitor it?

Hi @MatejKovacic if you are willing to rebase my fork, most of the implementation is there. I am still looking to find spare time to submit a PR

[MatejKovacic]

Unfortunately, I am not a programmer. OK, I can write some PHP code, but really I am not a programmer.

What is the status of this regulation? Also, would it suited me.

[MatejKovacic]

ICMP check is working for me: #35 (comment)

However, it would be great if at least this will be implemented in PHPServerMonitor...

How far did you get with this so far?

Thanks :)

[sadortun]

Almost completed .... since 3 years ! @phpfs if you are willing to compete it I guess there is only a few hours of work to do.
