# 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
<kbd>~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/monito@drieu.org</kbd>
directory. Then build the schema using either <kbd>make schema</kbd>
or <kbd>glib-compile-schemas --strict schemas/</kbd>.
Once this is done, reload gnome-shell (Alt-F2) and execute
gnome-tweaks to enable the extension or alternatively the following
command <kbd>gnome-extensions enable monito@drieu.org</kbd>.
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 (connect via SSH, etc.)
* Filters to hide services (handled, scheduled downtime, host down, ...)
* Support for other free (as in free speech) monitoring servers
Things I will be unlikely to add unless a patch is provided:
* Notification for new alerts
* Display list of down hosts (I am not interested in host monitoring but services)
