aammonit

Stub of a simple python monitoring system

Requirements

Globally

The concept is supposed to extend to any monitorable thing:
- notify if price of bitcoin exceeds X
- notify if outside temperature drops below X
- notify if html page's DOM element changed
- etc.
Create an interface class, that can control aammonit as a whole (dynamically add notifiers, services, stop, start, etc)
- Subclasses of this can be a terminal controller, IRC/XMPP controller (but then have to re-use the notifier as a controller, so need a way to communicate).
- Where/how is the configuration stored? sqlite? json overwrite on each config change/save? etc.
Maybe introduce metering, save results of each check, make them available to access in the interfaces
- i.e. IRC/XMPP interface:
```
<user> .view service_check_1  
<aammonit> Last metrics for service_check_1: 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.15    
```
- Web interface would display graphs, etc.

Monitors

Every monitor should be optionally threaded, with an individual interval of checking, for high importance service checks
Add "retries" for checks until declared down
Detect self-connectivity issues before saying that everything is down

Due to the stub nature of this project, there are a lot of things to cover that aren't covered here.
