Command Line Interface / Create new check - Automation

Creates new AppBeat check (periodic monitor) from json settings provided by UTF-8 encoded input file or standard input.

This command requires more parameters than other commands and is considered a little bit more complex for this reason. You can also run it in three different ways.

Usage 1: create new simple website monitor directly from command line (check interval is set to 300 seconds, paid plans can also set 60 seconds)

dotnet AppBeat.CLI.dll new-check --type web --url www.google.com --name test1 --service 00257c9d-a86b-4427-9105-e683e8148e3f --interval 300

Output example:


{
  "Id": "ac94bd0f7e154acb8779c80ab1c92ba5",
  "Success": true,
  "Error": null
}

This command created new periodic website check called "test1" with resource identifier ac94bd0f7e154acb8779c80ab1c92ba5

--service parameter can be skipped if you have only one active service.

Usage 2: create new website monitor from UTF-8 encoded json file

dotnet AppBeat.CLI.dll new-check ./web_check_template.json

Content of web_check_template.json file:


{
	"Agent": "AdvancedWeb",
	"Name": "test2",
	"Description": "Check created with AppBeat command line tool / API",
	"CheckIntervalInSeconds": "300",
	"ServiceId": "00257c9d-a86b-4427-9105-e683e8148e3f",
	"ResendNotificationOnFailure": 0,
	"ConsecutiveFailedChecksNotificationThreshold": 0,
	"AgentSpecificSettings": {
		"URL": "www.google.com",
		"TIMEOUT": "15",
		"METHOD": "GET",
		"HTTP_VER": "http1.1",
		"IP_VER": "ipv4"
	}
}

Output example:


{
  "Id": "d811a5b1a70d4cff9dbd815e18892b0c",
  "Success": true,
  "Error": null
}

Usage 3: create new website monitor from standard input

dotnet AppBeat.CLI.dll new-check <web_check_template_2.json

Content of web_check_template_2.json file:


{
	"Agent": "AdvancedWeb",
	"Name": "test3",
	"Description": "Check created with AppBeat command line tool / API",
	"CheckIntervalInSeconds": "300",
	"ServiceId": "00257c9d-a86b-4427-9105-e683e8148e3f",
	"AgentSpecificSettings": {
		"URL": "www.google.com",
		"TIMEOUT": "15",
		"METHOD": "GET",
		"HTTP_VER": "http1.1",
		"IP_VER": "ipv4"
	}
}

Output example:


{
  "Id": "bef8a5f045544786b1fa8e6eeffefa38",
  "Success": true,
  "Error": null
}

We will soon add json file templates for all other agent types with full parameter specification.
