Web-based Django App to monitor hosts

Monitor

Monitor is a simple Web-based Django app to monitor hosts through ICMP packets (ping) using this daemon.

How-To

1. It's recommended to use pyenv for Python install. See this script to install it on Centos or this to install it on Ubuntu/Debian.

2. Create a project:

   django-admin.py startproject foo_project
   

3. Download and Install app from github:

   pip install https://github.com/chonpz28/django-monitor/raw/master/dist/django-monitor-0.1.6.tar.gz
   

4. Add "monitor" to project's setting INSTALLED_APPS (/foo_project/foo_project/settings.py):

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'monitor',
   )
   

5. Include the monitor URLconf in your project urls.py:

   url(r'^monitor/', include('monitor.urls', namespace='monitor')),
   

6. Migrate hosts models to project's database:

   python manage.py migrate
   

7. Create superuser if a new project was created:

   python manage.py createsuperuser
   

8. Start the development server:

   python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
   

9. Visit http://localhost:8000/admin/ to create hosts and services (need the Admin app enabled).

10. Run the monitor daemon to start monitoring:

    python manage.py monitord
    

11. Visit http://localhost:8000/monitor/

12. Enjoy!
