babis 0.2.4

Description:

babis 0.2.4

babis


Decorator that pings URLs before and after executing the wrapped obj. Useful to
monitor cron jobs with services like Dead Man’s Snitch or
HealthChecks.io.

Features

Pre and After run pings
Custom user agent
Silent failures
Rate limiting



Usage
Ping after successful execution:
@babis.decorator(ping_after='http://healthchecks.io/XXX')
def cron_job():
pass
Some services support pre and after hooks to measure the running time:
@babis.decorator(ping_before='http://healthchecks.io/XXX', ping_after='http://healthchecks.io/XXX')
def measured_cron_job():
pass
You can also send a POST instead of the default GET:
@babis.decorator(ping_before='http://healthchecks.io/XXX', method='post')
def cron_job_with_post():
pass
And if you don’t care if the ping fails, silence the errors:
@babis.decorator(ping_before='http://healthchecks.io/XXX', silent_failures=True)
def cron_job_silent_failure():
pass
You can also rate limit the number of pings send to play nice with third party
services, let’s say to at most 1 call in 5 minutes:
@babis.decorator(ping_after='http://healthchecks.io/XXX', rate='1/5m')
def cron_job_rate_limited():
pass
or at most 24 calls per day:
@babis.decorator(ping_after='http://healthchecks.io/XXX', rate='24/1d')
def cron_job_rate_limited():
pass
Note that if you defined both ping_after and ping_before URLs then each call
counts for two hits by the rate limiter.
