GoPingSites is a tool to monitor multiple websites, written in Go.

Features include:

• Setup multiple sites to monitor with a configurable ping frequency for each site.
• Setup multiple contacts (per site) to notify about downtime and when service is restored.
• Notifications optionally sent via email and/or text messaging.
• Easy web user interface for dashboard, configurations, and uptime reports.
• History saved to a SQLite database.
• Easy installation and production deployment.

1. Use the make distribute command to build the project and will copy the necessary runtime files to $GOPATH/dist/go-ping-sites.

> make distribute

2. Go to the directory $GOPATH/dist/go-ping-sites.

> cd $GOPATH/dist/go-ping-sites

3. Copy the config_sample.toml to config.toml and optionally copy db-seed_sample.toml to db-seed.toml.
4. Edit the config.toml for your email/text settings and db-seed.toml to setup the initial sites for the application.
5. Run the application.

> go-ping-sites

6. Browse to localhost:8000 and login as the admin user with the password adminpassword.
7. Go to the Profile tab and provide a new password for the admin account.

You can rebuild the application again without deleting the current configuration and database by just using the make without the distribute argument.

> make

Or to run the application after building:

> make run

You can restart with a clean database by simply deleting the old one and restarting.

> rm go-ping-sites.db
> rm go-ping-sites-auth.db
> go-ping-sites
New Database, creating Schema...            
Seeding initial sites with db-seed.toml ...

It will recreate a new one once you rerun go-ping-sites, based on the settings in db-seed.toml.

For more information on how to deploy the application for production refer to the Installation and Deployment guides.
