Script that goes through every site specified in config.ini
and tries to reach it.
pip install requests>=2
Script is meant to be set on cron schedule. In our company we set it to be ran every 15 minutes.
If site can not be reached or responds with status code other than 200, function will notify user via email. If the web-site stays down for two checks in a row, you will not get notification that site is down. After next check, if site goes back online, user will get an email notification.
Sites you want check, emails to sent notifications to, email server and account used to send
notifications — all this is set in the config.ini file.
By default, script will use config.ini that is located in the same folder as ping.py. If you need other config
files, you can provide path to them as second console argument.
Log files stored in the same folder as ping.py. You can provide custom path for them in a config.ini file.
On the first launch script will generate sites_state.json, which is used to keep track of previous checks.
To use it via console:
-python ping.py - will use script with default config.ini file(assuming that they are in the same folder)
-python ping.py path/to/your/config.ini - that way you can create different configs and use them
config.ini structure:

[RECIPIENTS]
EMAILS = ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]
[SITES]
SITES = ["https://www.google.com/", "https://duckduckgo.com/", "https://github.com/"]
[LOG]
PATH = ./ping.log
EMAIL = ./mail_error.log
