xmpp-webhook

• Multipurpose XMPP-Webhook (Built for Prometheus/Grafana Alerts)
• Based on https://github.com/atomatt/go-xmpp

Status

xmpp-webhook currently only provides a hook for Grafana. I will implement a parserFunc for Prometheus ASAP. Check https://github.com/opthomas-prime/xmpp-webhook/blob/master/handler.go to learn how to support more source services.

Usage

• xmpp-webhook is configured via environment variables:
  • XMPP_ID - The JID we want to use
  • XMPP_PASS - The password
  • XMPP_RECEIVERS - Comma-seperated list of JID's
• After startup, xmpp-webhook tries to connect to the XMPP server and provides the implemented HTTP enpoints (on :4321). e.g.:

curl -X POST -d @grafana-alert.json localhost:4321/grafana

• After parsing the body in the appropriate parserFunc, the notification is then distributed to the configured receivers.

Installation

IMPORTANT NOTE: For the sake of simplicity, xmpp-webhook is not reconnecting to the XMPP server after a connection-loss. If you use the provided xmpp-webhook.service - Systemd will manage the reconnect by restarting the service.

• Download and extract the latest tarball (GitHub release page)
• Install the binary: install -D -m 744 xmpp-webhook /usr/local/bin/xmpp-webhook
• Install the service: install -D -m 644 xmpp-webhook.service /etc/systemd/system/xmpp-webhook.service
• Configure XMMP credentials in /etc/xmpp-webhook.env. e.g.:

XMPP_ID='bot@example.com'
XMPP_PASS='passw0rd'
XMPP_RECEIVERS='jdoe@example.com,ops@example.com'

• Enable and start the service:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable xmpp-webhook
systemctl start xmpp-webhook

Building

• Get the sources: go get -u github.com/opthomas-prime/xmpp-webhook
• Install dep: https://github.com/golang/dep
• Change in the project folder: cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/opthomas-prime/xmpp-webhook
