# Process monitoring
|
|
|
|
Since version 1.22.0 it is possible to monitor the status of the BGPalerter process.
|
|
|
|
There are various approaches for monitoring the status of BGPalerter, each implemented in a specific module.
|
|
You can declare the modules you want to load/enable in `config.yml`, as follows:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
processMonitors:
|
|
- file: uptimeApi
|
|
params:
|
|
useStatusCodes: true
|
|
host: null
|
|
port: 8011
|
|
|
|
- file: uptimeHealthcheck
|
|
params:
|
|
url: url_to_poll
|
|
intervalSeconds: 300
|
|
method: get
|
|
|
|
- file: sentryModule
|
|
params:
|
|
dsn: https://<key>@sentry.io/<project>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## uptimeApi
|
|
|
|
The uptimeApi module enables an API to retrieve the current status of BGPalerter.
|
|
|
|
By default the API is reachable at `http://localhost:8011/status` and provides a summary of the status of various components of BGPalerter. If any of the components is having a problem, the attribute `warning` is set to true.
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of the API output.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"warning": false,
|
|
"connectors": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "ConnectorRIS",
|
|
"connected": true
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In `config.yml` the uptimeApi is declared as:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
processMonitors:
|
|
|
|
- file: uptimeApi
|
|
params:
|
|
useStatusCodes: true
|
|
host: null
|
|
port: 8011
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the uptimeApi block is commented/deleted from the config file, no extra dependencies are loaded and no open port is required.
|
|
|
|
The API, in addition to the JSON answer, can use HTTP status codes for an easier integration with Nagios and similar.
|
|
|
|
Parameters for this module are:
|
|
|
|
|Parameter| Description|
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
|useStatusCodes| A boolean that if set to true enables HTTP status codes in the response. Nothing changes in the JSON output provided by the API. |
|
|
|host| The IP address on which the API will be reachable. If `null` or missing, the API will be reachable on all the addresses of the machine.|
|
|
|port| The port on which the API will be reachable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## uptimeHealthcheck
|
|
|
|
The uptimeHealthcheck module is a component that will start polling a provided URL at a regular interval.
|
|
|
|
This can be used to send a heartbeat signal to a monitoring system (e.g., https://healthchecks.io/).
|
|
If there is any warning about any component activated in BGPalerter, the heartbeat will not be issued (independently from the fact that the process is still running).
|
|
|
|
|
|
In `config.yml` the uptimeHealthcheck is declared as:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
processMonitors:
|
|
|
|
- file: uptimeHealthcheck
|
|
params:
|
|
url: url_to_poll
|
|
intervalSeconds: 300
|
|
method: get
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the `method` parameter is set to `post`, the body of the request will contain a detailed status of BGPalerter.
|
|
The status is reported in the same JSON format described for the uptimeApi module.
|
|
|
|
Parameters for this module are:
|
|
|
|
|Parameter| Description|
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
|url| The URL to be polled periodically. |
|
|
|intervalSecond| The interval (in seconds) between HTTP requests. |
|
|
|method| The method used for the HTTP request. It can be `get` or `post`. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## sentryModule
|
|
|
|
The sentryModule is a component that allows the monitoring of the BGPalerter process for runtime exceptions.
|
|
Useful especially for testing new experimental modules.
|
|
|
|
To enable this feature, create a new project on your Sentry server and grab the generated DSN.
|
|
|
|
In `config.yml` the sentryModule is declared as:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
processMonitors:
|
|
|
|
- file: sentryModule
|
|
params:
|
|
dsn: https://<key>@sentry.io/<project>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Parameters for this module are:
|
|
|
|
|Parameter| Description|
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
|dsn| The DSN where the logs will be sent. |
|
