Pingdom maintenance window

A simple ruby-script which uses em-http-request to send an API request to the Pingdom API to pause or unpause all checks.

pingdom-maintenance-window.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'em-http'
require 'em-http/middleware/json_response'
require 'optparse'
require 'yaml'

config = YAML.load_file 'pingdom.yml'

pingdom_user   = config['username']
pingdom_pass   = config['password']
pingdom_appkey = config['appkey']

host = 'https://api.pingdom.com'
request_options = {
  :path => '/api/2.0/checks',
  :head => {
    'accept-encoding' => 'gzip, compressed',
    'app-key'         => pingdom_appkey,
    'authorization'   => [pingdom_user, pingdom_pass]
  }
}

optparse = OptionParser.new do |opts|
  opts.banner = "usage: #{$0} [options]"

  opts.on('-h', '--help', 'display this message') do
    puts opts
    exit
  end

  opts.on('-p', '--pause', 'pause all checks') do
    request_options[:body] = 'paused=true'
  end

  opts.on('-u', '--unpause', 'unpause all checks') do
    request_options[:body] = 'paused=false'
  end
end

optparse.parse!

EventMachine.run do
  EventMachine::HttpRequest.use EventMachine::Middleware::JSONResponse

  http = EventMachine::HttpRequest.new host

  request = http.put request_options

  request.callback do
    if request.response.has_key? 'error'
      puts request.response
      exit 1
    else
      EventMachine.stop_event_loop
    end
  end
end

pingdom.yml

password: '<pingdom password>'
appkey: 'pingdom application key>'
