# Website Monitoring Service
|
|
|
|
This project provides an automated service for monitoring websites, checking their HTTP status codes, and sending notifications when websites are down. The service is installed as a Systemd service and runs in the background, periodically checking the status of websites listed in a configuration file.
|
|
Features
|
|
|
|
- Monitor multiple websites for availability.
|
|
- Log the status of websites to a log file.
|
|
- Send notifications (via Telegram or other methods) when a website is down.
|
|
- Installed as a Systemd service for automatic startup and management.
|
|
- Configurable via a JSON file to easily add and manage URLs.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Linux-based system with Systemd support.
|
|
- curl installed (for website monitoring).
|
|
- jq installed (for parsing JSON configuration).
|
|
- Telegram bot setup (if using Telegram notifications).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
To install and set up the website monitoring service, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Clone or download the project files
|
|
|
|
Download the installation script install_monitor_service.sh and place it on your system.
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Make the installation script executable
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod +x install_monitor_service.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 3. Run the installation script
|
|
|
|
Execute the script to install the service, configuration files, and necessary setup:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ./install_monitor_service.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will:
|
|
|
|
- Install the website monitoring script.
|
|
- Create the sites.json configuration file.
|
|
- Set up a Systemd service for the monitoring process.
|
|
- Start the service and enable it to run at boot.
|
|
|
|
#### 4. Customize the configuration file
|
|
|
|
Edit the sites.json file located at /etc/website-monitor/sites.json to include the websites you want to monitor:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"urls": [
|
|
"https://example.com",
|
|
"https://example.org"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
You can add as many URLs as you like to the list.
|
|
|
|
#### 5. Configure Telegram notifications (optional)
|
|
|
|
If you want to receive Telegram notifications when a website is down, you'll need to:
|
|
|
|
- Set up a Telegram bot and get the bot token.
|
|
- Set your Telegram chat ID.
|
|
|
|
Add the token and chat ID to the monitoring script (website_monitor.sh).
|
|
|
|
#### Managing the Service
|
|
|
|
After installation, the monitoring service will automatically start. You can manage the service with the following Systemd commands:
|
|
Check the status of the service:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl status website-monitor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### View logs
|
|
|
|
Logs are stored in /var/log/website-monitor.log. You can view them with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo tail -f /var/log/website-monitor.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Restart the service
|
|
|
|
To restart the monitoring service:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl restart website-monitor
|
|
```
|
|
#### Disable the service
|
|
|
|
If you want to stop the service from starting at boot:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl disable website-monitor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Manual website check via Telegram (optional)
|
|
|
|
You can manually check the status of a website by sending a /check <url> command to the Telegram bot. The bot will respond with the HTTP status and description for the provided URL.
