Uptime Robot Dashing Widget

README.md

Simple Uptime Robot Dashing widget

Description

Dashing widget to display a short list of Uptime Robot monitors. This version is compatible with the current Uptime Robot APIv2 (https://uptimerobot.com/api).

##Usage

Add this to your Gemfile and run bundle install:

gem 'uptimerobot'

The files uptimerobot.coffee, uptimerobot.html and uptimerobot.scss go in the /widget/uptimerobot directory.

The uptimerobot.rb goes into the /jobs directory.

Put the following in your dashboard.erb file to make it show up in your dashboard:

<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
  <div data-id="uptimerobot" data-view="Uptimerobot"></div>
</li>

##Settings (uptimerobot.rb)

You will need to provide an API key from Uptime Robot API

uptimerobot.coffee

class Dashing.Uptimerobot extends Dashing.Widget

uptimerobot.html

<h1>Server status</h1>

<ul>
  <li class="monitor" data-foreach-monitor="monitors" data-bind-class="monitor.status">
    <span data-bind="monitor.friendlyname"></span>
  </li>
</ul>

<p class="updated-at" data-bind="updatedAtMessage"></p>

uptimerobot.rb

require 'uptimerobot'

apiKey = ENV['UPTIMEROBOT_APIKEY']

SCHEDULER.every '5m', :first_in => 0 do |job|
  client = UptimeRobot::Client.new(apiKey: apiKey)

  raw_monitors = client.getMonitors['monitors']

  monitors = raw_monitors.map { |monitor| 
    { 
      friendlyname: monitor['friendly_name'], 
      status: 'S' << monitor['status'].to_s
    }
  }

  send_event('uptimerobot', { monitors: monitors } )
end

How do I get this to work with Api v2? It throws an error up for me:

rufus-scheduler intercepted an error:
job:
Rufus::Scheduler::EveryJob "5m" {:first_in=0}
ArgumentError :api_key is required.

I have inserted my API key on the appropriate line "apiKey = ENV['UPTIMEROBOT_APIKEY']"

Please advise, many thanks.

Two issues I had, the RB and a stupid case issue. Pay special attention to cases in "div data-id="uptimerobot" data-view="Uptimerobot"" One Uptime is capital, one is lowercase.

I fixed this, I modified the RB as below (per the API page):

``
require 'uptimerobot'

SCHEDULER.every '5m', :first_in => 0 do |job|
client = UptimeRobot::Client.new(api_key: 'API_KEY_HERE')

raw_monitors = client.getMonitors['monitors']

monitors = raw_monitors.map { |monitor|
{
friendlyname: monitor['friendly_name'],
status: 'S' << monitor['status'].to_s
}
}

send_event('uptimerobot', { monitors: monitors } )
end
