Updown

provide basic API to Updown.io

NAME

Updown - provide basic API to Updown.io

SYNOPSIS

use Updown;

my $ud = Updown.new;  # assume API key in UPDOWN_API_KEY

my $ud = Updown.new(api-key => "secret-api-key");

for $ud.checks -> (:key($check-id), :value($check)) {
    say "$check.apdex_t() $check.url()"
}

my $event = Updown::Event(%hash);  # inside a webhook

DESCRIPTION

Updown provides a simple object-oriented interface to the API as provided by Updown.io, a website monitoring service.

Access to functionality is provided through the Updown class, which has methods that perform the various functions and return objects in the Updown:: hierarchy of classes.

The Updown API is basically followed to the letter, with a little caching and some minor functional sugar added.

To be consistent with the names used in the API, all identifiers use underscores (snake_case) in their names, rather then hyphens (kebab-case).

MAIN CLASSES

Updown

The Updown object connects the code with all of the monitoring that has been configured for a user of the Updown.io service.

Parameters

The following parameters can be specified when creating the Updown object:

client

A Cro::HTTP::Client object that will be used to access the API of Updown. Defaults to a default Cro::HTTP::Client object.

api-key

The API key that should be used to authenticate requests with the Updown API. Defaults to the UPDOWN_API_KEY environment variable.

Any API key (implicitely) specified will be added to the headers of the client object used to facilitate authentication.

Methods

The following methods are available on the Updown object:

checks

Returns a Hash with Updown::Check objects, keyed to their "check_id". Takes an optional named boolean argument :update to indicate that the information should be refreshed if it was already obtained before.

check_ids

Returns a list of "check_id"s of the Updown::Checks that are being performed for the user associated with the given API key. Takes an optional named boolean argument :update to indicate that the information should be refreshed if it was already obtained before.

check

Return the Updown::Check object associated with the given "check_id". Takes an optional named boolean argument :update to indicate that the information should be refreshed if it was already obtained before.

downtimes

Returns a list of up to 100 Node::Downtime objects for the given "check_id". Takes an optional :page argument to indicate the "page": defaults to 1.

overall_metrics

Returns a Updown::Metric object for the given "check_id". Optionally takes two named arguments.

:from, a DateTime object indicating the start of the period for which to provide overall metrics. Defaults to DateTime.now.earlier(:1month).

:to, a DateTime object indicating the end of the period for which to provide overal metrics. Defaults to DateTime.now.

hourly_metrics

Returns an object Hash of Updown::Metrics objects for the given "check_id" about overall metrics per hour, keyed to DateTime objects indicating the hour. Optionally takes two named arguments.

:to, a DateTime object indicating the end of the period for which to provide overal metrics. Defaults to DateTime.now.

node_metrics

Returns a Hash of Updown::Metrics objects for the given "check_id" about overall metrics per monitoring server in the Updown.io network, keyed to "node_id". Optionally takes two named arguments.

:from, a DateTime object indicating the start of the period for which to provide overall metrics. Defaults to DateTime.now.earlier(:1month).

:to, a DateTime object indicating the end of the period for which to provide overal metrics. Defaults to DateTime.now.

Updown::Event

Objects of this type are not created automatically, but need to be created directly with the hash of the JSON received by a server that handles a webhook (so no Updown object needs to have been created).
