# Monito multi-monitoring checker
Monito is a simple tool to query monitoring servers and display
results in the Gnome-Shell panel.
## Manual Installation
If you install from sources/scratch, put the sources into the
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/monito@drieu.org
directory. Then build the schema using either make schema
or glib-compile-schemas --strict schemas/.
Once this is done, reload gnome-shell (Alt-F2) and execute
gnome-tweaks to enable the extension or alternatively the following
command gnome-extensions enable monito@drieu.org.
And voilà!
## About
This extension has been developed for my own needs. I will maintain
it and add features but it may be very crude, compared to the
excellent *nagstamon* package, which only missed the ability to be put
inside of the gnome-shell panel (this could not be developed).
Things I plan to add at some point or another:
* Buttons to operate on services à la nagstamon (recheck, connect via SSH, etc.)
* Regexes to modify the output of services (to prune unecessary stuff)
* Filters to hide services (acked ones, or depending on regexes)
* Support for other (free as in free speech) monitoring servers
* Better tabular output of the services result (sorting, pagination)
* Choose which columns are shown in services result
* Better icinga2 support (use API because things are missing in the json output ?)
Things I will be unlikely to add unless a patch is provided:
* Support for broken HTTPS certs
* Notification for new alerts
