cmdprobe

A utility for running arbitrary commands and checking their output

Install

shell cargo install cmdprobe

Usage

Basic execution

See the example cmdprobe.yaml file for what configuration is available.

Construct your own configuration file, and then run cmdprobe against it to execute all the checks that you need to do.

shell cmdprobe --config-file /etc/cmdprobe.yml

Emitting statsd metrics

You can supply a statsd host and cmdprobe will emit metrics for each test & stage.

shell cmdprobe --config-file /etc/cmdprobe.yml --statsd-address 127.0.0.1:8125

The following metrics will be emitted:

```

Did the entire probe run fail/succeed

cmdprobe.probe.failed cmdprobe.probe.passed

Did one check (a collection of stages) fail/succeed

cmdprobe.check.failed cmdprobe.check.passed

Did an indidivual stage within a check fail/succeed

cmdprobe.stage.failed cmdprobe.stage.passed ```

Running locally

Ensure you have a cmdprobe.yaml file in the current directory

```shell

Start the httpbin for testing

docker-compose up -d

Run cmdprobe with the local config file

RUST_LOG=cmdprobe=INFO cargo run ```
