# simple-website-monitor
A simple website monitor based on the Telegraf http_response plugin.
The idea is to run Telegraf as deployment on Kubernetes for hight availability.
This project contains a Helm Chart and some other files and scripts for the best usability.
Used technonlogies:
* Docker
* Telegraf
* InfluxDB
* Grafana
Official [Telegraf/http_response Docs](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/http_response )
We created a custom Docker Image for Telegraf because we wanted some security optimizations.
