An UptimeRobot plugin for BitBar

BitBar is a handy tool for MacOS status bar, whose functionality is based on plugins.

This repo has the source code for a plugin that integrates UptimeRobot into BitBar.

Install

This assumes you have BitBar already installed. Otherwise you can install it from the website or as Brew cask (better):

brew cask install bitbar

Manually

1. Add a monitor to UptimeRobot.

2. Get a read-only API key from your UptimeRobot Settings page.

3. Put that API key into file ~/.config/bitbar.conf. You can do it from Terminal as follows:

   echo 'UPTIME_ROBOT_API_KEY = "12345-asdf-7890"' > ~/.config/bitbar.conf

4. Find your BitBar plugin folder location from BitBar menu.

5. Save the plugin source code as a text file in your BitBar plugin folder. Any file name will work, but better name it uptime_robot.rb for clarity.

6. Assign file permissions for that file:

   cd <plugin directory>
   chmod +x "uptime_robot.rb"

7. Refresh BitBar from menu — the new plugin should be up and running
