simple-systemd-monitoring

Simple tool to check if one or more systemd services are running and otherwise create an incident via PagerDuty or VictorOps

Create a new service with the integration type APIv2 at the PagerDuty website. This should give you an integration-key.

Login to VictorOps and visit Settings -> API which shows your api-id. To get a new api-key simly press the + New Key button at the end.

Download and compile the code with go get github.com/codemonauts/simple-systemd-monitoring or use the precompiled binaries.
Run the code with

./simple-systemd-monitoring -customerName Somebody -integration-key foobarbaz42 -name nginx.service -duration 30s

or use the provided simple-systemd-monitoring.service file.

The -name flag can be used multiple times to monitor more services.
