Or, to install remotely from GitHub run:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/alerta/alerta-contrib.git#subdirectory=integrations/urlmon

Configuration

Add URLs to check to settings.py in the following format:

checks = [
    {
        "resource": "www.google.com",
        "url": "http://www.google.com?q=foo#q=foo",
        "environment": "Production",
        "service": ["Google", "Search"],
        "api_endpoint": "http://localhost:8080",
        "api_key": "<APIKEY>"
    },
    {
        "resource": "guardian-football",
        "url": "http://www.guardian.co.uk/football",
        "environment": "Production",
        "service": ["theguardian.com", "Sport"],
        "tags": ["football"]
    },
]

Regex Matches

Add the search setting and URLmon will search the response body for the text and generate a HttpContentError if it is not found.

You can set up differents api andpoints for differents checkers (see example above).
