Discord + UptimeRobot sample bot. Version 2.1.1

A Discord bot that uses UptimeRobot to detect if a service is down or not.

This does require you to have a UptimeRobot account and setup monitors on your UptimeRobot account.

Installation process.

Part 1 -- Getting started:

1. Download the source by using git clone https://github.com/kt5company/discord-uptimerobot in a command prompt that has Git installed.
2. Make sure you have Node.js + npm (node.js v12+) installed and run npm i inside the folder.
3. Open auth.json with any text editor and... 3a. Replace DISCORD TOKEN HERE with your Discord bot's token. 3b. Replace UPTIMEROBOT TOKEN HERE with your UptimeRobot account's token.
4. Open info.json with any text editor and...

• Replace YOUR DISCORD ID HERE with your Discord user ID.
• Replace YOUR PREFIX HERE with the prefix you'll be using to trigger the bot.

6. When you have everything configured, run npm start in your terminal/command prompt.
7. Invite the Discord bot to your server and use (prefix)ping to make sure it's running.

Make sure that all IDs you use are still in the quotes or else the last 2 numbers will be zeros, this goes with all IDs in the JSON files.

Part 2 -- Setting up monitors: (VERY IMPORTANT)

Since v2, monitors are now defined in data/db.json. For every monitor -- there should be another list in the collection. If you look in the commands/service.js script, you will see an "example monitor".

First you must find ID number of the monitor. Go to bot.js and uncomment the lines 70-72. Save the file and run the bot.

Check your console and you should see a list of monitors from your UptimeRobot account. Find the monitor ID you would like to use for this example, it will be above the monitor's "friendlyname". In the "db.json" file, in the "name" value the monitor whatever you like because it doesn't really matter. But in the "value" value, enter in your monitor ID.

You can now change the example case name in the service command to use when you want to look at the information for that monitor.

If you wanted to add more monitors, repeat the 2nd part of this process, copy the lines 3-7 in db.json and make sure to change the "value" to your other monitor ID, and copy the lines 26-50 in commands/service.js and make sure to change the case name to something different and change the monitorlist[0].value to monitorlist[1].value; the more you add, the higher the number is.

(Opinional) Part 3 -- Automatic checking of monitors:

Search for your info.json and change the values in "guild" to your chosen guild ID and "channel"to your chosen channel ID.

Make sure that the IDs you use are still in the quotes or else the last 2 numbers will be zeros, this goes with all IDs in the JSON files.
