Pyng: DATE check

Description

DATE check executes a command which outputs UTC date and time in a requested format.

DATE requires date command to be present in $PATH.

Options

DATE supports following options, which may be used upon creation of a new check object:

fmt

Format string which specifies the date and time format

In addition, DATE supports following generic check settings:

desc

Check description

silent

Information about check runs is not output by certain runners

interval

Number of seconds between check runs

result

Require that check output matches result in order to consider check successful. During the matching, check output is evaluated as a list of lines of output without newlines. result may be provided in multiple ways:

• None: always succeeds
• string: succeeds if any line in the check's output is equal to, or contains, result
• list or a tuple: succeeds if all elements of result are present in the check's output (i.e. set of result items is a subset of check output items)
• set: succeeds if all lines in the check's output are present in result (i.e. check output is a subset of the set of result items)
• Compiled regular expression object: succeeds if any line in the check's output matches result

alert

Callable (or a list of callables) to run in order to alert of check status changes

notify

Callable (or a list of callables) to run in order to notify of changes in check's output

run_condition

Callable to run to decide if check run should be skipped

run_threshold

Threshold for mean run time in order to consider check to be degraded

result_filter

Callable to run to filter check command output lines prior to matching check results

on_result

on_first

on_up

on_down

on_degrade

on_restore

on_change

Callable to run with the result of the check on the specified events
