3. Solar_mon_discord.sh script uses discord.sh script from https://github.com/ChaoticWeg/discord.sh repository.
cd SOLAR_NODE_Monitor_Discord/ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChaoticWeg/discord.sh/master/discord.sh chmod +x discord.sh
4. Login to Discord.com (or Register for a new user)
Create Your Own Server
Open your Server Settings and head into the Integrations tab:
Click the “Create Webhook” button to create a new webhook!
You’ll have a few options here. You can:
• Edit the avatar: By clicking the avatar next to the Name in the top left
• Choose what channel the Webhook posts to: By selecting the desired text channel in the dropdown menu.
You now have your own handy URL / pneumatic tube schoomp-er that you can link to more websites to receive messages from.
Get the webhook URL for the server/channel you want to receive messages:
In my server, I’ve created a text channel labeled #node-alerts and I want my Solar_mon_discord.sh to post messages here!
Therefore, I’ll grab the webhook URL for this channel by pressing the Copy Webhook URL button:
(For more information: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks )
5. Go back to your NODE
cd SOLAR_NODE_Monitor_Discord/ nano .webhook
PASTE the Webhook URL copied from Step.4
Save and Exit from file (CTRL-O / Enter / CTRL-X)
Note1: discord.sh and .webhook files should be in the same directory
Note2: .webhook file has point (.) in front of its name.
6. Test your webhook
./discord.sh --text "Test Message"
You should receive “Test Message” at your discord server.
7. Install the required sar and jq commands for Solar_mon_discord.sh.
sudo apt install sysstat
sudo apt-get install jq -y
8. For testing Solar_mon_discord.sh integration with discord.sh use the following command
./Solar_mon_discord.sh test
You should receive a test message at your Discord Server.
9. Enter the following lines into your crontab file for monitoring your node every 5 minutes ( use * * * * * for checking every minute. For more visit https://crontab.guru/ )
crontab -e
*/5 * * * * /path/to/home/SOLAR_NODE_Monitor/solar-mon-discord.sh > /path/to/home/SOLAR_NODE_Monitor/solar-mon-discord.log 2>&1
