pingdom-go

pingdom-go is a Go client library for the Pingdom API.

This currently supports working with basic HTTP (with specific details) and ping checks.

Build Status:

Godoc: https://godoc.org/github.com/russellcardullo/go-pingdom/pingdom

Usage

Client

Pingdom handles single-user and multi-user accounts differently.

Construct a new single-user Pingdom client:

client := pingdom.NewClient("pingdom_username", "pingdom_password", "pingdom_api_key")

Construct a multi-user Pingdom client:

client := pingdom.NewMultiUserClient("pingdom_username", "pingdom_password", "pingdom_api_key", "pingdom_account_email")

The pingdom_account_email variable is the email address of the owner of the multi-user account. This is passed in the Account-Email header to the Pingdom API.

Using a Pingdom client, you can access supported services.

CheckService

This service manages pingdom Checks which are represented by the Check struct. When creating or updating Checks you must specify at a minimum the Name, Hostname and Resolution. Other fields are optional but if not set will be given the zero values for the underlying type.

More information on Checks from Pingdom: https://www.pingdom.com/features/api/documentation/#ResourceChecks

Get a list of all checks:

checks, err := client.Checks.List()
fmt.Println("Checks:", checks) // [{ID Name} ...]

Create a new HTTP check:

newCheck := pingdom.HttpCheck{Name: "Test Check", Hostname: "example.com", Resolution: 5}
check, err := client.Checks.Create(&newCheck)
fmt.Println("Created check:", check) // {ID, Name}

Create a new Ping check:

newCheck := pingdom.PingCheck{Name: "Test Check", Hostname: "example.com", Resolution: 5}
check, err := client.Checks.Create(&newCheck)
fmt.Println("Created check:", check) // {ID, Name}

Get details for a specific check:

checkDetails, err := client.Checks.Read(12345)

For checks with detailed information, check the specific details in the field Type (e.g. checkDetails.Type.HTTP).

Update a check:

updatedCheck := pingdom.HttpCheck{Name: "Updated Check", Hostname: "example2.com", Resolution: 5}
msg, err := client.Checks.Update(12345, &updatedCheck)

Delete a check:

msg, err := client.Checks.Delete(12345)

Create a check with basic alert notification to a user.

newCheck := pingdom.HttpCheck{Name: "Test Check", Hostname: "example.com", Resolution: 5, SendNotificationWhenDown: 2, UserIds []int{12345}}
checkResponse, err := client.Checks.Create(&newCheck)

MaintenanceService

This service manages pingdom Maintenances which are represented by the Maintenance struct. When creating or updating Maintenances you must specify at a minimum the Description, From and To. Other fields are optional but if not set will be given the zero values for the underlying type.

More information on Maintenances from Pingdom: https://www.pingdom.com/resources/api/2.1#ResourceMaintenance

Get a list of all maintenances:

maintenances, err := client.Maintenances.List()
fmt.Println("Maintenances:", maintenances) // [{ID Description} ...]

Create a new Maintenance Window:

m := pingdom.MaintenanceWindow{
		Description: "My Maintenance",
		From:        1,
		To:          1234567899,
	}
maintenance, err := client.Maintenances.Create(&m)
fmt.Println("Created MaintenanceWindow:", maintenance) // {ID Description}

Get details for a specific maintenance:

maintenance, err := client.Maintenances.Read(12345)

Update a maintenance: (Please note, that based on experience, you are allowed to modify only Description, EffectiveTo and To)

updatedMaintenance := pingdom.MaintenanceWindow{
		Description: "My Maintenance",
		To:          1234567999,
	}
msg, err := client.Maintenances.Update(12345, &updatedMaintenance)

Delete a maintenance:

Note: that only future maintenance window can be deleted. This means that both To and From should be in future.

msg, err := client.Maintenances.Delete(12345)

After contacting Pingdom, the better approach would be to use update function and setting To and EffectiveTo to current time

maintenance, _ := client.Maintenances.Read(12345)

m := pingdom.MaintenanceWindow{
		Description: maintenance.Description,
		From:        maintenance.From,
		To:          1,
		EffectiveTo: 1,
	}

maintenanceUpdate, err := client.Maintenances.Update(12345, &m)

ProbeService

This service gets pingdom Probes which are represented by the Probes struct.

More information on Probes from Pingdom: https://www.pingdom.com/resources/api/2.1#ResourceProbes Several parameters are supported for filtering output. Please see them in Pingdom API documentation.

NOTE: Official documentation does not specify that region is returned for every probe entry, but it does and you can use it.

Get a list of all probes:

params := make(map[string]string)

probes, err := client.Probes.List(params)
fmt.Println("Probes:", probes) // [{ID Name} ...]

for _, probe := range probes {
  fmt.Println("Probe region:", probe.Region)  // Probe region: EU
}

TeamService

This service manages pingdom Teams which are represented by the Team struct. When creating or updating Teams you must specify at a minimum the Name. Other fields are optional but if not set will be given the zero values for the underlying type.

More information on Teams from Pingdom: https://www.pingdom.com/resources/api/2.1#ResourceTeam

Get a list of all teams:

teams, err := client.Teams.List()
fmt.Println("Teams:", teams) // [{ID Name Users} ...]

Create a new Team:

t := pingdom.TeamData{
		Name: "Team",
}
team, err := client.Teams.Create(&t)
fmt.Println("Created Team:", team) // {ID Name Users}

Get details for a specific team:

team, err := client.Teams.Read(12345)

Update a team:

modifyTeam := pingdom.TeamData{
    Name:    "New Name"
		UserIDs: "123,678",
}
team, err := client.Teams.Update(12345, &modifyTeam)

Delete a team:

team, err := client.Teams.Delete(12345)
