Run using Pushover Notification

Star (0)

This tutorial will show you how to integrate Monika with Pushover to get your Monika notifications through your Pushover clients.

Setup Pushover

To use Pushover with Monika, head to https://pushover.net and create an account. Then, you need to confirm your email. After that, log in to the dashboard and pay attention to the “Your User Key”. Save the user key to a safe place as we are going to need it later.

Then, scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click the Create a new Application/API Token. Fill out the forms, and click Create Application. You should see your API Token/Key. Save the token to a safe place as we are going to need it later.

After you created the API Token, go back to the main Dashboard. Then, click the Add Phone, Tablet, or Desktop. For this case, use the Pushover for Desktop. Then, enter your Device Name and click Register Web Browser. You will be redirected to your created Pushover desktop client.

Once that’s done, it’s time to configure Monika to integrate with the Pushover desktop client.

Integrate Monika with Pushover

Now that we have our User and API Token from Pushover, it’s time to create a Monika configuration called monika.yml

notifications:
- id: pushover-notification
type: pushover
data:
token: <YOUR_PUSHOVER_API_TOKEN>
user: <YOUR_PUSHOVER_USER_KEY>
probes:
- id: 6a31bcff-48f1-40b0-98aa-8c7610f4f428
name: Localhost
description: ''
requests:
- url: http://localhost:8080/health
method: GET
headers: {}
body: '{}'
timeout: 0
alerts:
- query: response.status < 200 or response.status > 299
message: HTTP Status is not 200
- query: response.time > 2000
message: Response time is more than 2000ms

Let’s take a look at the configuration above:

  • The Pushover notification channel will use the API Token and User Key you created from the previous step.
  • It will probe http://localhost:8080/health, with the method GET
  • It will alert you if the response status code is not 200, or the response time is longer than two seconds

Once that’s done, run Monika with the configuration above with the command monika -c monika.yml

Congratulations! You have successfully integrated Monika with Pushover! Note that Pushover integration is only available from the Monika version 1.8.0.
