This is a simple command-line application written in Go (Golang) for monitoring the availability of websites. It allows users to specify the delay between checks and the number of monitorings to perform.
- Go (Golang): The programming language used to develop the application.
- HTTP Package: Used for making HTTP requests to the specified websites.
- OS Package: Used for file operations, such as reading from
sites.txtand logging tolog.txt. - Time Package: Used for introducing delays between monitorings.
- Log Package: Used for logging errors and status information.
The primary purpose of this project is to learn how to manipulate files and handle HTTP requests in Go. It serves as a practical exercise to understand concepts such as reading from files, making HTTP requests, error handling, and logging in Go applications.
- Setup: List the websites to be monitored in the file
sites.txt, with each URL on a new line. - Run: Execute the application and follow the on-screen instructions to start monitoring.
- Monitor: The application will periodically check the specified websites for availability and log the results to
log.txt. - View Logs: Use the application to display the logs stored in
log.txt.
The sites.txt file should contain URLs representing different websites with varying statuses. These URLs can be from personal websites, public APIs, or any online resource that returns different HTTP status codes. For example:
Ensure that the URLs in sites.txt are accessible and return the expected status codes to simulate different scenarios accurately.
