MONITOLITE

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

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.

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

Installation

• clone this repo
• install Perl dependencies
• install PHP composer dependencies: cd ./web && composer install
• create a Database and import the schema from sql/create.sql
• add tasks and contacts into the database (no backend yet)
• run the script: perl monitolite.pl
• check the web dashboard for results.
• when everything works, you may create a CRON * * * * * cd <change/this/to/the/correct/path> && /usr/bin/perl monitolite.pl > /dev/null

MORE INFORMATION COMING SOON.
