PingdomLib3 3.0.0

Written by: Kenneth Wilke <kenneth.wilke@gmail.com>
This is a python library to provide full access to the pingdom API, along with
a few additional features to make using the API easier and pythonic.

Usage examples

Connecting to pingdom
import pingdomlib
api = pingdomlib.Pingdom(username, password, apikey)

Show all checks that are not in ‘UP’ status
# See pingdomlib.pingdom documentation to see available calls and settings
pingdomchecks = api.getChecks()
for check in pingdomchecks:
# See pingdomlib.check documentation for information on PingdomCheck class
if check.status != 'up':
print check

Creating a new check
newcheck = api.newCheck("New check name", "www.hostnametocheck.com")

Updating a check
# Updates to check objects are pushed immediately to pingdom
newcheck.paused = True

Disabling change pushing for checks
api.pushChanges = False

Get last 10 pingdom alerts sent
import datetime
for alert in api.alerts(limit=10):
time = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(alert['time'])
timestamp = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

print "[%s] %s is %s" % (time, alert['name'], alert['status'])

Get outages for a specific check
import datetime
check = api.getCheck(227878)
for outage in check.outages():
# timestamp conversion
time_start = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(outage['timefrom'])
timestamp_start = time_start.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
time_end = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(outage['timeto'])
timestamp_end = time_end.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

print "%s: %s from %s to %s [%dm]" % (check.name, outage['status'],
timestamp_start, timestamp_end,
(outage['timeto'] -
outage['timefrom']) / 60)
