Python Server Ping Script

[NodeBytes]

Here's a quick little script to set up a ping based server monitor written in Python. This script will email you if any of your monitored servers are down.

Instructions are available over at Github as well.

Here is what i use for my online checker, its perl and requires sendmail. but here it is


#!/usr/bin/perl


use Net:ing;
use Fcntl;
$loc = "hosts";
sub sendEmail
 {
  my ($to, $from, $subject, $message) = @_;
        my $sendmail = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
        open(MAIL, "|$sendmail -oi -t");
                print MAIL "From: $from\n";
                print MAIL "To: $to\n";
                print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
                print MAIL "$message\n";
        close(MAIL);
 }
sysopen(FILEIN, $loc, O_RDONLY);
my @ip_array = <FILEIN>;
chomp(@ip_array);
$p = Net:ing->new();
foreach (@ip_array) {
    if ($_ =~ /\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+/) {
        if ($p->ping($&)) {
                sendEmail("yourname\@gmail.com", "pinger\@yourdomain.com", "Server Online ($&).", "$& is online");
        } else {
                sendEmail("yourname\@gmail.com", "pinger\@yourdomain.com", "Server Offline ($&).", "$& is offline.");
        }
    } else {
#        print " ip address is not valid $_\n";
    }
}
All you do is save your IPs in the file hosts as the same directory as serverstatus.pl, set a cronjob to run X minutes/hours.
