Matrix/IRC ping bot and Prometheus exporter

This little project rolls three things into one:

• A Matrix bot that responds to ping messages.
• An IRC bot that responds to ping messages.
• A prometheus exporter that sends a message from the Matrix bot to the IRC bot, and measures the latency.

Usage

Matrix

The Matrix bot responds to the following command:

!ping [message]

The response is human-readable, with the metadata set in the message. This command mirrors the functionality of maubot/echo.

IRC

The IRC bot responds to ping commands of the following format:

ping [id] [unix time in ns]

The response is of the format:

pong <id> <unix time in ns> [delay in ns] [human-readable delay]

The default id is unixnano.

Prometheus

Installation

Download and build the program using:

go get -u github.com/silkeh/matrix_irc_ping_exporter/cmd/matrix_irc/ping_exporter
