HTTP ARF

The HTTP watchdog

harf barks when your services are down, making it easy to restart them either via systemd integration or by arbitrary shell commands. Unix only.

Sample config:

{
    "sites": [{
        "name": "Example Website",
        "url": "http://example.com/",
        "unit": "mainsite_fake.service"
    },
    {
        "name": "Example Website 404",
        "url": "http://example.com/nonexist/",
        "unit": "mainsite_fake.service"
    },
    {
        "name": "Test Site",
        "url": "http://localhost:8080",
        "cmd": "echo 'Test service is down!' > test.txt"
    }]
}

Sample output:
