# KumaCub

**Run local checks; push results to Uptime Kuma.**

KumaCub is a lightweight daemon that executes scheduled health checks and pushes the results to [Uptime Kuma](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma). It supports Nagios-compatible check scripts and provides flexible configuration via TOML files or environment variables.

## Installation

### Arch Linux (AUR)

For Arch Linux users, you can install KumaCub from the AUR. Installing this way will also install the systemd unit file
and a sample config file.

```bash
# Install from AUR (we'll use `yay` for this example)
yay -S kumacub
```

### Manual Installation (PIP)

If your distro doesn't have a package available, you can install KumaCub manually.

```bash
pip install kumacub
sudo kumacub install
```

### Quick Setup with uv

If you prefer to use uv, you can set up your systemd service to use uv to run KumaCub.

1. Install [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/):
    ```bash
    curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sudo sh
    ```
2. Create a systemd unit file `/etc/systemd/system/kumacub.service`:
    ```unit file (systemd)
    [Unit]
    Description=KumaCub - Run local checks and push results to Uptime Kuma
    Documentation=https://github.com/toadstule/kumacub
    After=network-online.target
    Wants=network-online.target
    
    [Service]
    ExecStart=/root/.local/bin/uv run --isolated --no-progress --python=3.13 --with kumacub kumacub daemon
    ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target   
    ```
3. Create a config file `/etc/kumacub/config.toml`:
    ```bash
    sudo mkdir /etc/kumacub
    ```
    ```toml
    [log]
    level = "DEBUG"
    structured = false
    
    [[checks]]
    name = "sampe check"
    executor.command = "echo"
    executor.args = ["-n", "OK - sample check is working"]
    publisher.url = "https://uptime-kuma.example.com"
    publisher.push_token = "your-push-token-here"
    schedule.interval = 60
    ```
4. Reload systemd daemon:
    ```bash
    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    ```

## Configuration

KumaCub uses a TOML configuration file. By default, it looks for `/etc/kumacub/config.toml`, but you can override this with the `KUMACUB__CONFIG` environment variable.

### Example Configuration

```toml
# Logging configuration
[log]
level = "INFO"  # DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL
structured = true  # Use JSON-formatted logs

# Define checks
[[checks]]
name = "disk usage"
executor.command = "/usr/lib/monitoring-plugins/check_disk"
executor.args = ["-c", "90"]
publisher.url = "https://uptime-kuma.example.com"
publisher.push_token = "your-push-token-here"
schedule.interval = 60  # Run every 60 seconds

[[checks]]
name = "system time (ntp)"
executor.command = "/usr/lib/monitoring-plugins/check_ntp_time"
executor.args = ["-H", "pool.ntp.org", "-c", "10"]
publisher.url = "https://uptime-kuma.example.com"
publisher.push_token = "your-push-token-here"
schedule.interval = 30

[[checks]]
name = "system load"
executor.command = "check_load"
executor.args = ["-c", "10", "-w", "10"]
executor.env = { "PATH" = "/usr/lib/monitoring-plugins" }
publisher.url = "https://uptime-kuma.example.com"
publisher.push_token = "your-push-token-here"
schedule.interval = 30
```

### Configuration Fields

#### Check Configuration

Each `[[checks]]` entry supports:

- **name**: Unique identifier for the check
- **executor.command**: Command to execute
- **executor.args**: Command arguments (optional, default: `[]`)
- **executor.env**: Environment variables (optional, default: `{}`)
- **publisher.url**: Uptime Kuma instance URL
- **publisher.push_token**: Uptime Kuma push token
- **schedule.interval**: Check interval in seconds (default: `60`)

### Environment Variables

You can override any configuration value using environment variables with the `KUMACUB__` prefix:

```bash
# Override config file location
export KUMACUB__CONFIG=/path/to/config.toml

# Override log level
export KUMACUB__LOG__LEVEL=DEBUG

# Override log format
export KUMACUB__LOG__STRUCTURED=false
```

## Usage

### Managing the Systemd Service

```bash
# Start the service
sudo systemctl start kumacub

# Stop the service
sudo systemctl stop kumacub

# Restart the service
sudo systemctl restart kumacub

# Reload configuration without restarting
sudo systemctl reload kumacub

# Check service status
sudo systemctl status kumacub

# View logs
sudo journalctl -u kumacub -f

# Enable on boot
sudo systemctl enable kumacub

# Disable on boot
sudo systemctl disable kumacub
```
