TODO

  • add docs:
    • configuration
  • create kibana dashboards
  • fsevent file watcher for module config loading
  • all monitors:
    • configure local ip/device use to ping remote
    • add go based tests
  • icmp monitor:
    • add windows support
    • check for non-root alternative not requiring RAW socket
    • add support for optional icmp payload
  • http monitor:
    • refine allowed HTTP methods
    • add cookie jar for request (store new cookies or preset?)
    • configure HTTP version (http module might choose 1.1 or 2.0)
    • collect and report all response validation failures (ATM first failed validation will be reported)
    • add more compression types (only gzip supported yet)
  • tcp monitor:
    • if receive validator fails, report received and expected value
  • DNS probe:
    • collect (validate) known DNS entries right from DNS servers

Ideas

  • active monitors for more protocols: UDP, DNS, FTP, SIP, FTP, POP3, IMAP, MySQL, ...
  • traceroute-ping
  • API for listing active monitors and (modifying) schedule?
  • API/Support for adding/removing monitoring targets?
    • HTTP based API? Need persistent registry with active list of hosts between restarts.
    • configure and watch file with potential endpoints (update monitors on file change)
    • monitor config file and reload on change?
  • passive monitors based on packet sniffing:
    • IP, TCP: based monitor by checking for packages with actual payload
    • application layer (e.g. HTTP): check responses only + stop parsing/processing new connections in time interval if server is marked as up.
