REST Monitor

A system monitor that exposes a REST API.

Configuration

Declare MONITOR_ACCESS_TOKEN as environment variable before running the application. The clients should add the header Auth-Token: with the same token to access.

Requirements

• Python 2.7
• Bottle
• Psutils
• Virtualenv (Optional)

Instalation

For now, just copy the code into your server and add a virtual environment for it:

$ pip install virtualenv
$ virtualenv folder
$ source folder/bin/activate
$ pip install bottle psutil

Run the server

This minimal bottle application runs in the port 3344.

$ python monitor.py

Query the server

$ wget -qO - --header 'Auth-Token: mytoken' http://my-server:3344/ | python -m json.tool
