=================================== maintenance_service_http_monitoring

This module provides automated HTTP availability monitoring for services defined on maintenance equipment. It periodically checks the HTTP status of service URLs and automatically creates maintenance requests when services are detected as unavailable.

Key features:

• Automated HTTP checks: Scheduled cron job checks all active services
• Maintenance mode: Temporarily disable monitoring during planned maintenance
• Automatic maintenance requests: Creates corrective maintenance requests when services fail HTTP checks
• Status tracking: Records last HTTP status code and check date per service

Installation

Use Odoo normal module installation procedure to install maintenance_service_http_monitoring.

This module depends on:

• maintenance
• maintenance_server_data

Python dependencies: This module requires the requests library.

Configuration

Maintenance Mode Duration

By default, maintenance mode lasts 4 hours. To change this:

1. Go to Settings > Technical > System Parameters
2. Create or edit the parameter:
   • Key: maintenance_service_http_monitoring.maintenance_mode_duration
   • Value: Duration in hours (e.g., 8)

Cron Jobs

Two scheduled actions are installed:

1. HTTP Service Monitoring: check all services

   • Runs every 15 minutes
   • Checks HTTP status of all active service instances with URLs

2. HTTP Service Monitoring: deactivate expired maintenance mode

   • Runs every 15 minutes
   • Automatically disables maintenance mode when the end time is reached

Webhook Notifications

Go to Settings > Technical > Parameters > System Parameters and configure:

+--------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | Key | Description | +========================================================+========================================+ | maintenance_service_http_monitoring.webhook_url | Webhook URL (POST endpoint) | +--------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | maintenance_service_http_monitoring.webhook_user | Basic Auth username (optional) | +--------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ | maintenance_service_http_monitoring.webhook_password| Basic Auth password (optional) | +--------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+

Usage

Monitoring Services

Services are automatically monitored if they have:

• A service URL defined
• An associated equipment
• The equipment is not in maintenance mode
• The service instance is active

The monitoring checks HTTPS availability (HTTP URLs are automatically upgraded to HTTPS). A service is considered OK if it returns HTTP 200.

Using Maintenance Mode

When performing planned maintenance on a server:

1. Go to Maintenance > Equipments
2. Open the equipment record
3. Click "Activer le mode maintenance" (Activate maintenance mode)
4. HTTP monitoring is suspended for this equipment
5. The mode automatically expires after the configured duration
6. Or click "Désactiver le mode maintenance" to end it manually

Viewing HTTP Status

On service instances, you can see:

• Last HTTP Status Code: The last received HTTP status (200, 404, 500, etc.)
• Last HTTP Check Date: When the last check was performed
• HTTP Status OK: Quick visual indicator of service health

Automatic Maintenance Requests

When a service fails HTTP checks:

• A corrective maintenance request is created with prefix "[HTTP KO]"
• The request is linked to the equipment
• Only one request per equipment per day is created
• The request description lists all failing services

Webhook notifications

When a new maintenance request is created (HTTP check failure), the module can send a webhook notification to an external service (e.g., n8n, Rocket.Chat, Slack).

The webhook sends a JSON POST with the following structure::

{
    "id": 42,
    "name": "[HTTP KO] Server Name",
    "priority": "2",
    "description": "Service KO: https://example.com",
    "equipment": "Server Name",
    "link": "https://odoo.example.com/web#id=42&model=maintenance.request&view_type=form"
}

Known issues / Roadmap

• Add configurable alert thresholds (e.g., alert after N consecutive failures)
• Add email/notification on service failure
• Support custom HTTP check endpoints (e.g., /health)
• Add support for basic authentication

Bug Tracker
