Power Monitor

A simple application written in Go that send a notification if a client fails to check in with a server.

Usage

Compile the binary

make build

Set up the configuration

Copy example.yml to config.yml, and update config.yml to contain appropriate values for sending email alerts.

Run the server

./power-monitor -server

Run the server in docker

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

Run the client

./power-monitor -client -hostname localhost -port 8000 -name test

Systemd Service

You can run the power monitor client as a Systemd service by following these steps:

1. Compile the binary: make build
2. Create a script in the top-level directory called run.sh. Populate it with the command to run the client. For example:

#!/bin/bash
./power-monitor -client -hostname <server-hostname> -port <server-port> -name <client-name>

3. Make run.sh executable: chmod +x run.sh.
4. Run the create-service.sh script from the top-level directory: ./scripts/create-services.sh. This will create, start, and enable the systemd service.
