Uptime Event Emitter

An uptime event emitter for http and tcp servers.

Installation

npm install --save @hfsnetbr/boleto-utils

How to use

const Monitor = require('ping-monitor');

const myWebsite = new Monitor(options);

myWebsite.on(event, function(response, state) {
    // Do something with the response
});

Options

  • website - The url of the website to be monitored (required is monitoring a website).
  • address - Server address to be monitored (required if monitoring tcp server).
  • port - Server port (required if monitoring tcp server).
  • interval (defaults to 15) - time interval (in minutes) for polling requests.

New Options: v0.4.1

The new options give you more control to define your http endpoints.

  • httpOptions - allows you to define your http/s request with more control. A full list of the options can be found here: https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_url_options_callback
  • expect - allows you define what kind of a response you expect for your endpoint. At the moment expect accepts 1 prop (more to be added in future versions), statusCode a http status code.
// http Get
const myApi = new Monitor({
    website: 'http://api.ragingflame.co.za',
    title: 'Raging Flame',
    interval: 10 // minutes

    httpOptions: {
      path: '/users',

Change log

v0.5.1

Changes

  • Added Support for content search in HTTP/HTTPS - courtesy of @pbombnz
  let ping = new Monitor({
    website: 'https://ecommorce-shop.com/playstation5',
    interval: 0.1,
    expect: {
      contentSearch: 'In stock'
    }
  });

  ping.on('up', function (res, state) {

  });
  

  ping.on('error', function (error, res) {
    console.error(error);
  });

v0.5.0

Changes

  • Added timeout event to Monitor instance. This event is passed from the htt/s module.
  myMonitor.on('timeout', function (error, res) {

  });
  
  // also make sure that you are handling the error event 
  myMonitor.on('error', function (error, res) {

  • Dependencies update

Please note: When the timeout event is fired, it is followed by the error event which is created when we manually abort the http request.
