Laravel Server Monitor Laravel Package

title: Manually modifying hosts and checks weight: 1

All configured checks are stored in the checks table in the database. Every check is related to one host from the hosts table. The various server-monitor commands manipulate the data these two tables:

• server-monitor:add-host adds a host in the hosts table and creates checks in the check table related to that host.
• server-monitor:delete-host deletes a host and all related checks
• server-monitor:list-hosts lists all hosts
• server-monitor:list-checks lists detailed information about all checks

You can also manually manipulate the rows of both tables. These fields can be manipulated in the hosts table:

• name: the name of the host that will be checked.
• ssh_user: the name of the ssh user the package should use when connecting to the remote server.
• port: the port that should be used when connecting to the server. If this is empty port 22 will be used.
• ip: if this field contains an ip-address we'll use that instead of the name when connecting to a server
• custom_properties: see the section on using custom properties

These are the fields you can manipulate in the checks table:

• host_id: the id of the host in the hosts table on which this check will be performed.
• type: this value determines which check should be performed. The value should correspond to one of the keys in checks keys in the config file eg diskspace, mysql, ...
• enabled: if this contains 0 the check won't be executed.
• custom_properties: see the section on using custom properties

All other fields in the checks and hosts tables are managed by the package and should not be manually modified.
