# LDstatus

## Gitter

[![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/LDstatus/Lobby.svg)](https://gitter.im/LDstatus/Lobby?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)

Seen as this integrates with Gitter it makes sense that it has it's own Gitter chat.

I've been using it as a place to test the behaviour of this project, whilst it's being developed.

But your welcome to come and chat!

## Config

### config.json

You need to create a config.json file in the root directory, this is where you will place your api tokens/keys.

I.E. config.json should be

```json

{

  "UPTIMEROBOT_TOKEN" : "",

  "GITTER_PAT_TOKEN" : "",

}

```

Up time robot does not provide you with a token,  so I suggest using [](www.random.org) too generate your own.

I generated a 16byte token via this [link](https://www.random.org/cgi-bin/randbyte?nbytes=32&format=h).

### uptime robot

#### Alert contact

To create a web hook from the uptime robot dashboard you need to go to the settings page, and add an alert contact.

An alert contact of type `webhook` is needed.

The url to notify needs to be to url to wherever your hosting your handler with a `?` on the end.

I'm using Google Cloud Functions, But Amazon AWS Lambda or another "Serverless" provider should work with a little tweaking.

The POST data should be

```json

{

  "provider":"uptimerobot",

  "token":"",

  "room":"",

  "statuspageurl":"status.test.zakwest.tech"

}

```

statspageurl is an optional param.

#### Enabling the webhook for a monitorURL

To enable the web hook for a specific monitor, go it it's edit page and tick the box next to the name of your web hook.

## Deployment

This will vary depending on whether your using Functions or Lambda.

I am using `>gcloud beta functions deploy webhook --stage-bucket  --trigger-http` for Google Cloud Functions.
