Argos monitoring

Argos is an HTTP monitoring service.

1. Define a list of websites to monitor
2. Specify a list of checks to run on these websites.
3. Argos will run the checks periodically and alert you if something goes wrong.

Internally, a HTTP API is exposed, and a job queue is used to distribute the checks on the network.

Features

• Made for large systems: It's meant to supervise a large number of websites.
• Server/Agent architecture: The server is responsible for storing the configuration and the results of the checks. The agent is responsible for running the checks and sending the results to the server.
• Extensible: You can add new checks using pure python.
• HTTP API: You can use the HTTP API to get the results of the checks.

Installation

pip install argos-monitoring
argos server start
argos agent http://localhost:8000 "<auth-token>"
