Methods
Constructor monitor (line 760)

Create a new monitor object.

monitor monitor ([string $name = ""], [string $emailto = ""], [string $emailfrom = ""], [string $emailpager = ""], [string $lockfilepath = ""])
  • string $name: Name of this monitor instance (message prefix)
  • string $emailto: Email address to send monitor messages to
  • string $emailfrom: Email from-address for monitor messages
  • string $emailpager: Email address for pager TXT messages
  • string $lockfilepath: Path to lockfile (optional)
add_monitor (line 1050)

Add a new monitor. Eg. file_monitor, postgres_monitor etc. This just stuffs the object in an array ready to be checked.

void add_monitor (object $monitor)
  • object $monitor: New monitor object to add to our list
add_timeslot (line 1041)

Add a time slot to the schedule. This requires two times as per 24hr clock which define a time interval during the day, and gives it a name. You can define any number of these. Timeslots have to be in HH:MM format, separated by a dash "-", eg: '07:30-11:45'.

void add_timeslot (mixed $start, mixed $end, string $name)
  • mixed $start: Start time for timeslot, string datetime or Unix timestamp
  • mixed $end: End time for timeslot, string datetime or Unix timestamp
  • string $name: The name or ID associated with this timeslot.
check (line 982)

Check all monitors. Just iterate through them and raise the conditions

contained in the reports each one returns. After collecting the details, we notify anyone which needs to know. If any condition returned from a check is FATAL, then the rule is we stop processing any further checks. Processing is done in order of definition of the monitors added, so put your critical ones first. NOTE: This method always performs a lock() before processing all the monitors, then performs an unlock() at the end.

void check ()
check_all_monitors (line 957)

Iterate through all our monitors, checking in each case. Each monitor will implement its own kind of checking and set its condition afterward.

void check_all_monitors ()
clear (line 817)

Clear all the monitors.

void clear ()
notify (line 925)

Method to send notification(s)..

void notify ()
raise_condition (line 902)

Raise a condition. The single parameter to this method is a monitor object which will have had its check() method called. This contains the resulting condition and any messages to notify.

void raise_condition (object $monitor)
  • object $monitor: Monitor object which has had its check() method run
set_condition_thresholds (line 891)

Sets the threshold at which we will send messages to email & pager.

Any conditions equal or worse than the threshold will be sent if the message is not nullstring.

void set_condition_thresholds (integer $email_cond, integer $pager_cond)
  • integer $email_cond: Conditions >= this will be reported via email
  • integer $pager_cond: Conditions >= this will be reported via pager
