# MONITOLITE
MonitoLite is a quite old project I recently found into my archives. I developed this script years ago.
**MonitoLite** is a quite old project I recently found into my archives. I developed this script years ago.
I figured it could be useful for others so here we are.
## What it does
MonitoLite is a very simple monitoring tool developed in Perl. It supports :
* ping monitoring
* http monitoring
**MonitoLite** is a very simple monitoring tool developed in Perl. It supports :
* **ping monitoring**: sends a `ping` command to the specified host. Raises an alert if the host is down
* **http monitoring**: gets the provided URL and raises an alert if the URL returns an error. Optionally you may specify a string to search on the page using the `param` database field. It raises an alert if the specified text could not be found on the page.
In case of an alert, the script sends an email notifications to the specified contacts (one or many).
The script also sends a recovery email notification when the alert is over.
It uses a SQL backend for handling the tasks and the status of the tasks.
Tested on MySQL only.
It comes with a very straightforward dashboard written in PHP.
It comes with a very straightforward dashboard written in PHP. This is **optional**, the `monitolite.pl` script runs as standalone.
I rewrote a couple of things today to make sure the script still works.

## Requirements
* Perl
* a MTA
* PHP (with PDO)
* a Database server (MySQL, other?)
* Access to CRON tasks
* Perl : with DBI, Dotenv, Net::Ping, MIME::Lite, LWP::Agent, LWP::UserAgent
* a MTA: Postfix, ...
* PHP 7+ (optional): with PDO
* a webserver (optional): Apache, Nginx, ...
* a Database server: MySQL, other? (untested)
* access to CRON tasks
* possibly `root` access for the `ping` command to run (needs confirmation)
## Installation

* install Perl dependencies

* create a Database and import the schema from `sql/create.sql`
* create your own `.env` file: `cp .env.example .env` and adapt it to your needs
* create a webserver vhost with document root to the `web` directory
* add tasks and contacts into the database (no backend yet)
* run the script: `perl monitolite.pl`
* check the web dashboard for results.

## TODO
* Make CRUD possible from the backend
* Make CRUD possible from the backend for adding tasks and contacts
* Multithreading
* SMS Notifications
* Better dashboard
* Raise alert when tasks are not run at the correct frequency (CRON down or other reason)
* Set a notification capping limit to prevent many notifications to be sent in case of an up-and-down host
