am
Simple alerts and monitoring server.
Server Installation
The server (cmd/amserver
) compiles to a dependency-free binary. Associated
files will be created or read from the working directory.
Log and Alert Scripts
The server will call two scripts for log or alert events. These scripts need to
be executable and exist in the working directory. They need to be called
log-action
and alert-action
. They are called with two arguments:
- The name of the source reporting the log or alert.
- The associated text.
Running
Run the server with a listen address:
amserver -listen example.com:443
If the port is 443, then the server will serve over https and automatically
acquire a certificate from letsencrypt.
Default User Account
By default, an account is created with username root
and password root1234
.
Source Usage
Sources can perform three actions: ping
, log
, or alert
. Actions are sent
as standard HTTP POST requests to the URL
https://example.com/report/<APIKey>
.
For example:
curl \
--data-urlencode "action=alert" \
--data-urlencode "text=An alert!" \
https://example.com/report/$API_KEY
