HTTP Request Scheduler

Schedules HTTP(S) requests using crontab format and reports on the status.

Features

1. Group jobs into meaningful groups like application or client
2. Allow running jobs on multiple domains i.e. development/production
3. Record response for all instances: status, code, body
4. String match to identify success/failure
5. Allow "waterfall" or running a list of jobs in sequence

Setup

1. git clone [email protected]:dustinb/hrs.git
2. cd hrs
3. npm install
4. node hrs start
5. Browse to http://localhost:3000

Use node hrs stop to stop HRS. To reload new/updated configuration node hrs reload.

To start HRS with alternate config node hrs start simple

Configuration

A job requires title, cron, and a url.

Optional	Description
string	Look for this string in response. If not found treat as failure
runOnStart	HRS will run this job on startup (and reload)
done	Set to true if you want to disable this job

title: Five Tech Team
cron: "*/5 * * * * "
url: "http://www.fivetechteam.com"
string: "Call us @"
runOnStart: false
done: false

Multiple Domains

If wanting to run the same job on multiple domains include protocol and domains.

title: Multiple Domains
cron: "*/5 * * * * "
url: /res/job/cleanhouse.php
protocol: http
domains:
  - dev.example.com
  - staging.example.com
  - production.example.com

Waterfall

Run jobs in sequence by putting the cron in the group instead of the job. The cron specifies a start time for the first job, second one runs after first completes and so on.

title: Waterfall Group
cron: "10 2 * * * "
jobs:
  - title: Job 1
    url: http://hrs.fivetechdev.com/timestamp.php
  - title: Job 2
    url: http://hrs.fivetechdev.com/timestamp.php?uniqueurl=1

Slack Webhook

Add your Slack webhook url to the configuration to allow HRS to send error notifications

slackhook: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
slackChannel: "#HRS"
groups:
  - title: Group 1
    jobs:
      - title: Job 1
        cron: "30 2 * * * "
        url: http://www.example.com/
        runOnStart: true
