python monitoring client

arke is a dumb python monitoring client i am currently working on to monitor http status and docker container runtime.

http status:

• monitor znc server http status
• monitor pleroma server http status

docker runtime:

• slackbot

structure

• runtime file
• vars file that points the client at my servers

TODO

actually implement the following:

• logging https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html - use this to dump data instead of doing my own stupid write function.
  • https://fangpenlin.com/posts/2012/08/26/good-logging-practice-in-python/ this is also probably worth reading
• figure out how to remotely monitor processes from the monitoring host
• figure out how to send data over to my mojo slack bot
