Status](https://travis-ci.org/cvilsmeier/webwatch.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/cvilsmeier/webwatch)\n[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/cvilsmeier/webwatch)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/cvilsmeier/webwatch)\n\n**Webwatch checks HTTP/HTTPS URLs and sends mail if there's a problem.**\n\nYou run webwatch on your server(s) and let it watch local or remote URLs. When\nthe state of one or more URLS change (from 'reachable' to 'not reachable' or\nvice versa), webwatch will send an email. You can rate-limit emails to avoid\nbeing flooded.\n\nIf you run two or more servers, install webwatch on each of them and let them\ncheck each other.\n\n\n## Build\n\nWebwatch is written in [Go](https://golang.org/) (we need 1.9.0 or higher).\n\n```bash\nuser@wombat ~ # mkdir ~/webwatch\nuser@wombat ~ # export GOPATH=~/webwatch\nuser@wombat ~ # cd $GOPATH\nuser@wombat webwatch # go get -u github.com/cvilsmeier/webwatch/cmd/webwatch\nuser@wombat webwatch # cd bin\nuser@wombat bin # chmod 700 webwatch\nuser@wombat bin # ./webwatch -help\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\nuser@wombat webwatch # bin/webwatch -help\nUsage of webwatch:\n  -config string\n        the name of the config file (default \"config.json\")\n  -v    verbose output (default off)\n```\n\n```bash\nuser@wombat ~ # webwatch -config home/cv/webwatch/config.json -v\n```\n\n\n## Configuration\n\nWebwatch loads its configuration from a json file with the following structure:\n\n```json\n{\n    \"urls\": [\n        \"https://www.google.com\",\n        \"https://www.twitter.com\"\n    ],\n    \"checks\": \"5m\",\n    \"reports\": \"12h\",\n    \"limit\": \"1h\",\n    \"mail\" : {\n        \"subject\" : \"[Webwatch] MY_SERVER\",\n        \"from\" : \"mail@example.com\",\n        \"to\" : \"myself@example.com\",\n        \"host\" : \"smtp.example.com\",\n        \"username\" : \"example_username_00012\",\n        \"password\" : \"example_password_00012\"\n    }\n}\n```\n\n* `urls` The URLs you want to watch. Configure any number of URLs here.\n\n* `checks` The check interval for your URLs. Valid suffixes are 'h' for hours,\n  'm' for minutes and 's' for seconds. Default is '5m'.\n\n* `reports` The interval webwatch should send report mails. This setting\n  applies only if the states the URLs did not change since the last mail.  If\n  the state of one URL changes, webwatch will send mail immediately and not\n  wait for the 'reports' interval. Default is '12h'.\n\n* `limit` Rate-limit for mails. webwatch will sent at most one mail per 'limit'\n  period, no matter what. Default is '1h'.\n\n* `mail` Mail configuration.\n\n    * `subject` The mail subject. webwatch will append \"restarted\" or\n      \"OK\" or \"ERR\" to that subject, depending on the state of your URLs.\n\n    * `from` The from address.\n\n    * `to` The to address.\n\n    * `host` The host name of the smtp server webwatch sends mail to.\n      webwatch will try to talk smtp over port 25.\n\n    * `username` The username for authenticating against the smtp server.\n\n    * `password` The password for that username.\n\n\n## Author\n\nC.
