charts/uptimerobot/README.md

A tool to get statistics from Uptime Robot and log it into InfluxDB

This tool allows you to run periodic uptimerobot data usage checks and save the results to Influxdb

TL;DR;

$ helm repo add billimek https://billimek.com/billimek-charts/
$ helm install billimek/uptimerobot

Introduction

This code is adopted from this original repo

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install --name my-release billimek/uptimerobot

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release --purge

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The configuration is set as a block of text through a configmap and mounted as a file in /src/config.ini Any value in this text block should match the defined uptimerobot configuration. There are several values here that will have to match our kubernetes configuration.

Configuration

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the Sentry chart and their default values.

Parameter	Description	Default
image.repository	uptimerobot image	billimek/uptimerobotusage-for-influxdb
image.tag	uptimerobot image tag	latest
image.pullPolicy	uptimerobot image pull policy	IfNotPresent
delay	number of seconds to wait between collections	300
config.influxdb.host	InfluxDB hostname	influxdb-influxdb
config.influxdb.port	InfluxDB port	8086
config.influxdb.database	InfluxDB database	uptimerobot
config.influxdb.protocol	InfluxDB protocol	http
config.influxdb.username	InfluxDB username	``
config.influxdb.password	InfluxDB password	``
config.uptimerobot.apikey	uptimerobot API key (REQUIRED)	someapikey

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release \
  --set config.uptimerobot.apikey=thisismyapikey \
    billimek/uptimerobot

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml billimek/uptimerobot

Read through the values.yaml file. It has several commented out suggested values.
