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
