MADevice

Provides a way to monitor devices being used in MAD without needing a browser. Get alerts in Discord when they have not updated for a set amount of time. As well as a way to get the status of your devices on demand without leaving Discord. git

Requirements

• Python 3.7 (Only tested on 3.7, other Python 3 versions may work)

WHERE IT SAYS python[3[.7]] or pip[3[.7]] DON'T JUST COPY AND PASTE. EITHER RUN:

• pip if you only have python 3 installed
• pip3 if you only have one python 3 installed
• pip3.7 if you have multiple python 3 installs.

Setup

• Clone this repo
• You MUST create a virtual environment as this and MAD use different websocket versions.
  • Go to the folder containing MADevice. Within this folder run python[3[.7]] -m venv py3. This will create a folder within called py3
  • Within this there is a bin folder and in this there is the pip and python installs for this envrionment.
• Once you have a venv run from in the MADevice folder <PATH_TO_VENV_BIN>/pip[3[.7]] install -r requirements.txt
• Ensure you have entered your server details and name into servers.json (take a copy from servers.json.example)
  • This should be the IP and the port.
  • If you have set authentication for MADmin, ensure you add username and password to each of the servers in `servers.json
• Create config.ini from config.ini.example and populate the value which says REQUIRED
  • Optional config
    • duration_before_alert this is the number of minutes that MAD has not received any proto data for, before it raises an alert (Default: 20 minutes)
    • delay_between_checks this is the amount of time that MADevice does to sleep before checking the status of the devices again (Default: 20 minutes)

Run

<PATH_TO_VENV_BIN>/python[3[.7]] main.py

No Data Alert

When running it will check the last received time for data and then if it is more than 20 minutes (or the values set in alert_recheck_time) in the past it will post a message to the channel set by webhook in servers.json

On-Demand Status (!status)

If you type !status in the channel set by status_channel_id in servers.json You get an on-demand update across all servers (set in servers.json) and posted into Discord rather than opening up multiple browsers to see the data.

- Why do i not get notifications for new alerts

If a server has over 2500 members this limits the notifications and you won't get a push notification. To resolve this create a role (assign the relevant users to this role) and add the role id to the corresponding server in servers.json - see the example json.

Make sure the role has "Allow anyone to @mention this role" enabled otherwise it wont trigger a notification

- Ctrl + C does not stop MADevice

As of Python 3.6, the interpreter handles SIGINT generated by Ctrl+C differently for Linux and Windows.

See the below examples for how to stop the processes:

Mac OS and Linux

Ctrl + Shift + \ or Ctrl + \

Windows

General: Ctrl+Break

Dell: Ctrl+Fn+F6 or Ctrl+Fn+S

Lenovo: Ctrl+Fn+F11 or Ctrl+Fn+B

HP: Ctrl+Fn+Shift

Samsung: Fn+Esc
