## use-cases

The idea of a tiny one-shot service comes with the need for a quick monitoring service implementation to test HTTP/S and generic TCP endpoints (or just sockets in general = hosts and their ports).

### socket list

The list of sockets can be provided via a local JSON-formated file (e.g. `demo_sockets.json` file in the CWD), or via a remote REST/RESTful JSON API.

```bash
# local JSON file
dish -source /opt/dish/sockets.json

# remote JSON API source
dish -source http://restapi.example.com/dish/sockets/:instance
```

### alerting

When a socket test fails, it's always good to be notified. For this purpose, dish provides three different ways of doing so (can be combined):

+ test results upload to a remote JSON API (via `-updateURL` flag)
+ failed sockets list as the Telegram message body (via Telegram-related flags, see the help output above)
+ failed count and last test timestamp update to Pushgateway for Prometheus (via `-pushgw` and `-target` flags)

(The screenshot above shows the Telegram alerting as of `v1.5.0`.)

## examples

One way to run dish is to build and install a binary executable.

```shell
# Fetch and install the specific version
go install go.vxn.dev/dish/cmd/dish@latest

export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin

# Load sockets from sockets.json file, and use Telegram
# provider for alerting
dish -source sockets.json -telegram -telegramChatID "-123456789" \
-telegramBotToken "123:AAAbcD_ef"

# Use remote JSON API service as socket source, and push
# the results to Pushgateway
dish -source https://api.example.com/dish/sockets -pushgw \
-target https://pushgw.example.com/
```

### using Docker

```shell
# Copy, and/or edit dot-env file (optional)
cp .env.example .env
vi .env

# Build a Docker image
make build

# Run using docker compose stack
make run

# Run using native docker run
docker run --rm \
dish:1.7.1-go1.23 \
-verbose \
-source https://api.example.com \
-pushgw \
-target https://pushgateway.example.com
```

### bash script and cronjob

Create a bash script to easily deploy dish and update its settings:

```shell
vi tiny-dish-run.sh
```

```shell
#!/bin/bash

TELEGRAM_TOKEN="123:AAAbcD_ef"
TELEGRAM_CHATID="-123456789"

SOURCE_URL=https://api.example.com/dish/sockets
UPDATE_URL=https://api.example.com/dish/sockets/results
TARGET_URL=https://pushgw.example.com

DISH_TAG=dish:1.6.0-go1.22
INSTANCE_NAME=tiny-dish

SWAPI_TOKEN=AbCd

docker run --rm \
${DISH_TAG} \
-name ${INSTANCE_NAME} \
-source ${SOURCE_URL} \
-hvalue ${SWAPI_TOKEN} \
-hname X-Auth-Token \
-pushgw \
-target ${TARGET_URL} \
-update \
-updateURL ${UPDATE_URL} \
-telegram \
-telegramBotToken ${TELEGRAM_TOKEN} \
-telegramChatID ${TELEGRAM_CHATID} \
-timeout 15 \
-verbose
```

Make it an executable:

```shell
chmod +x tiny-dish-run.sh
```

#### cronjob to run periodically

```shell
crontab -e
```

```shell
# m h dom mon dow command
[email protected]

*/2 * * * * /home/user/tiny-dish-run.sh
```
