consul-notify

The purpose of this project is to monitor consul and send notifications to various plugins. This project was based on consul-alerts which is very feature rich and complicated. consul-notify seeks to address this complexity by only doing one thing, forwarding alerts to notifiers.

usage

consul-notify should initially be run in the start mode. In turn, the start mode will run consul watch and feed the output to the consul-notify watch mode.

Consul Notify.

Usage:
  consul-notify start [--config=<config>]
  consul-notify watch [--config=<config>]
  consul-notify --help
  consul-notify --version

Options:
  --config=<config>            The consul-notify config [default: /etc/consul-notify/consul-notify.conf].
  --help                       Show this screen.
  --version                    Show version.

base configuration

The consul configuration should point to a consul service. These are the defaults:

[consul]
  addr = "localhost:8500"
  dc = "dc1"

alerta

[alerta]
  url = "http://localhost:8000"
  token = ""

building a new consul-notify release

First update the versions in the Dockerfile and the consul-notify.go file. Then run:

docker build . -t consul-notify
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/output consul-notify

This will drop a tar.gz statically linked linux binary archive in the current directory. The artifact can now be uploaded.
