## Description

This is a collection of webservice monitoring tools for the Arborist monitoring toolkit (http://arbori.st/).

It can be used to describe and monitor HTTP services in more detail than a simple port check.

### Examples

Webservice nodes, like `service` nodes, are specified under a `host` node, which should be a single
instance of physical hardware that is hosting the service.

The simplest example is an unauthenticated REST service running on port 80:

Arborist::Host 'example-webserver' do
address 'ws01-01.example.com'
webservice 'api-v1', 'http://api.example.com/v1/heartbeat'
end

This adds a `webservice` child node to the containing host with an identifier of
`example-webserver-api-vi`.

The simplest monitor setup to monitor that service might look something like:

# -*- ruby -*-
#encoding: utf-8

require 'arborist/monitor/webservice'
Arborist::Monitor::Webservice::HTTP.default

This would check that an HEAD HTTP request to `http://api.example.com/v1/heartbeat` responds with a 2xx status code.

## Prerequisites

* Ruby

## Installation

$ gem install arborist-webservice
