Bash script to detect if crowdsec agent hasnt sent a heartbeat over 2 mins

crowdsec_heartbeat.sh

current="$(/usr/bin/date '+%s')"
cscli=$(which cscli)
machinesJson=$($cscli -ojson machines list)

echo $machinesJson | /usr/bin/jq -r '.[]| select(.last_heartbeat != null) | [.last_heartbeat, .machineId] | @tsv' |
  while IFS=$'\t' read -r hb mid; do
      last_hb="$(/usr/bin/date -u -d "$hb" '+%s')"
      diff=$((current - last_hb))
      if [ "$diff" -gt "180" ]; then
	  echo "$mid has not contacted LAPI for more than 2 minutes"
          # Do notifying here for machine that has not contacted LAPI for more than 2 minutes
      fi
  done
 
echo $machinesJson | /usr/bin/jq -r '.[]| select(.last_heartbeat == null) | .machineId' |
  while read -r mid; do
	# Do notifying here for machine that never contacted LAPI
	echo "$mid has never contacted LAPI"
  done
      

I suggest the below :

* Changing the parsing of $hb, as it is in UTC time it seems, we need to add -u

* diff, doesn't require "" around the variables

With the below, it seems to work for me.

thanks for the help

current="$(/usr/bin/date '+%s')"

/usr/bin/cscli -ojson machines list | /usr/bin/jq -r '.[]| [.last_heartbeat, .machineId] | @tsv' |
  while IFS=$'\Z' read -r hb mid; do
      last_hb="$(/usr/bin/date -u -d "$hb" '+%s')"

      diff=$(($current - $last_hb))
      if [ "$diff" -gt "180" ]; then
          echo "$mid hasn't sent heartbeat in over 2 minutes"
      fi
  done

The issue you changed IFS=$'\t' this is used to break on the tab characters. Cause | @tsv' changes the array to tab seperated values. I checked and Z in date works fine for me.
