Uptime Kuma

Published: Mar 16, 2022 by Isaac Johnson

Uptime Kuma is a very small yet full featured open source tool one can use to monitor and notify just about anything. It covers much of the same ground that Nagios or Site24x7 might cover. I found out about it recently from a Techno Tim YouTube review of the tool.

Today we will setup a simple Docker instance followed by a Kubernetes based instance with Ingress (which is live presently).

We’ll look at how we can monitor a variety of things and trigger notifications as well as invoke Azure DevOps YAML pipelines to fix problems (including a full example on monitoring and fixing a containerized service).

Getting Started

We can just launch Uptime Kuma as a docker container on any host running Docker. Whether running as a local container or via K8s, Uptime Kuma needs a persistent volume in which to store data so we’ll create that first, then launch the container

$ docker volume create ut-kuma
ut-kuma

$ docker run -d --restart=always -p 3001:3001 -v ut-kuma:/app/data --name uptime-kuma louislam/uptime-kuma:1

cead637ea0a2f6b0710d9e718055e495f3974dfa81608529e94cee6c90dc950a

Then just navigate to http://localhost:3001 to get started:

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-01.png

However, I would prefer to run in my cluster so I’ll stop this container running in local docker:

$ docker stop uptime-kuma
uptime-kuma

Via Helm

We can use the Helm chart to install Uptime Kuma to our Kubernetes cluster.

By default it will use the default storage class. In this case, I prefer it use local-path.

$ helm repo add uptime-kuma https://dirsigler.github.io/uptime-kuma-helm
"uptime-kuma" has been added to your repositories

$ helm upgrade uptime-kuma uptime-kuma/uptime-kuma --install --set volume.storageClassName=local-path
Release "uptime-kuma" does not exist. Installing it now.
NAME: uptime-kuma
LAST DEPLOYED: Tue Mar 15 06:09:37 2022
NAMESPACE: default
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
NOTES:
1. Get the application URL by running these commands:
  export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=uptime-kuma,app.kubernetes.io/instance=uptime-kuma" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
  export CONTAINER_PORT=$(kubectl get pod --namespace default $POD_NAME -o jsonpath="{.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}")
  echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:3001 to use your application"
  kubectl --namespace default port-forward $POD_NAME 3001:$CONTAINER_PORT

Next I’ll setup an https ingress

$ cat r53-uptimekuma.json 
{
  "Comment": "CREATE uptime fb.s A record ",
  "Changes": [
    {
      "Action": "CREATE",
      "ResourceRecordSet": {
        "Name": "uptime.freshbrewed.science",
        "Type": "A",
        "TTL": 300,
        "ResourceRecords": [
          {
            "Value": "73.242.50.46"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

$ aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id Z39E8QFU0F9PZP --change-batch file://r53-uptimekuma.json
{
    "ChangeInfo": {
        "Id": "/change/C06275451OV1OY90YPZXP",
        "Status": "PENDING",
        "SubmittedAt": "2022-03-15T11:12:08.929Z",
        "Comment": "CREATE uptime fb.s A record "
    }
}

Then I just need to make an Ingress.

First, i double check the service and port

$ kubectl get svc | grep uptime
uptime-kuma                                     ClusterIP      10.43.66.55     <none>                                                                                          3001/TCP                              3m25s

then create the ingress

$ cat uptimeIngress.yml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "letsencrypt-prod"
  name: uptime-with-auth
  namespace: default
spec:
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - uptime.freshbrewed.science
    secretName: uptime-tls
  rules:
  - host: uptime.freshbrewed.science
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          service:
            name: uptime-kuma
            port:
              number: 3001
        path: /
        pathType: ImplementationSpecific

$ kubectl apply -f uptimeIngress.yml 
ingress.networking.k8s.io/uptime-with-auth created

I actually had to deal with some tech debt here worth mentioning.

K8s upgrade drama… NGinx, Ingress and Cert Manager

Since upgrading to k3s 1.23, my NGinx controller has been fine. However, upon the first pod movement, it began to crash. It just was too old for the new Kubernetes version.

I needed to bite the bullet and upgrade Nginx.

One key note about upgrading NGinx Ingress is that CRDs do not upgrade.

So let’s add the Nginx stable repo and pull down the latest chart locally:

$ helm repo add nginx-stable https://helm.nginx.com/stable
"nginx-stable" has been added to your repositories

$ helm repo update
Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories...
...Successfully got an update from the "nginx-stable" chart repository
...Successfully got an update from the "uptime-kuma" chart repository
...Successfully got an update from the "kuma" chart repository
...Successfully got an update from the "dapr" chart repository

Update Complete. ⎈Happy Helming!⎈

Clearly with NGinx down, my own Harbor chart repo timed out, which is to be expected.

Next, we’ll make a local folder and pull down the chart

Upgrading the CRDs, per the docs, might throw an error which can be ignored.

Perhaps I’m just paranoid, but I do like to set aside my current values just in case the upgrade goes poorly.

Now we upgrade (then verify the values are what I expect)

builder@DESKTOP-QADGF36:~/Workspaces/nginx-fixing/nginx-ingress$ helm upgrade my-release nginx-stable/nginx-ingress
Release "my-release" has been upgraded. Happy Helming!
NAME: my-release
LAST DEPLOYED: Tue Mar 15 07:12:10 2022
NAMESPACE: default
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 4
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
The NGINX Ingress Controller has been installed.
builder@DESKTOP-QADGF36:~/Workspaces/nginx-fixing/nginx-ingress$ helm get values my-release
USER-SUPPLIED VALUES:
USER-SUPPLIED VALUES: null

  enableCustomResources: true
  enableTLSPassthrough: true
  logLevel: 3
  nginxDebug: true
  setAsDefaultIngress: true
  useIngressClassOnly: false
  watchNamespace: default

And my sanity check is to see the Harbor page

While this fixed Nginx Ingress - the cert manager was also failing now that v1beta1 APIs were gone

We can see the API is now v1

$ kubectl api-versions | grep admissionregistration
admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1

We should be able to apply a newer cert manager to solve this

$ kubectl apply -f test.yml

Once the admin user is created, we can see our dashboard

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-05.png

I should point out that at this point, the front end service is live, albeit with no content

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-06.png

Simple HTTP monitor

Let’s add a simple HTTP monitor. For instance, I may want to Monitor my Cribl Logmonitor instance

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-07.png

We can add an alert

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-08.png

For instance, we can make a Teams Webhook

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-09.png

Which we can now use in a new Notification

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-10.png

Click test to see how it looks

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-11.png

We can share this monitor on the status page as well.

Going to the status page, we can add group, then pick under monitors, Cribl to expose it

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-12.png

Now when I save it, I can see the status

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-13.png

TCP monitors

We can monitor non HTTP hosts as well.

Perhaps I wish to monitor my local FTB (Minecraft) server. The Java server, by default, runs on 25565

We can setup a monitor for this, but disable the PK Teams alert.

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-14.png

I can now see the host is responding and look at data for different time windows

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-15.png

Probe on Liveness

Another check many pods and services offer is a Liveness probe. This is a low cost (to the service) endpoint that just shows if a service is running.

For instance, looking at the Dapr Sidecar Injector:

$ kubectl describe pod dapr-sidecar-injector-5765dc95d9-7lpgm | grep Liveness
    Liveness:       http-get http://:8080/healthz delay=3s timeout=1s period=3s #success=1 #failure=5
$ kubectl describe pod dapr-sidecar-injector-5765dc95d9-7lpgm | grep IP | head -n1
IP:           10.42.4.217

Which is easy to setup as a quick Health check

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-16.png

and we can start to see some basic health metrics such as ping time when we let it run for a day

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-17.png

Notifications

I was hoping to use the Webhook Notification to push events to Datadog

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-18.png

However, the REST endpoint really requires the ability to pass the DD API KEY as a Header, e.g.

$ curl -X POST https://api.datadoghq.com/api/v1/events -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "DD-API-KEY: 1234123412341234123412341234" -d '{"title": "Uptime Kuma Event", "text": "K8s Pod Down", "tags": [ "host:myk3s" ]}'

{"status":"ok","event":{"id":6428455170932464368,"id_str":"6428455170932464368","title":"Uptime Kuma Event","text":"K8s Pod Down","date_happened":1647428652,"handle":null,"priority":null,"related_event_id":null,"tags":["host:myk3s"],"url":"https://app.datadoghq.com/event/event?id=6428455170932464368"}}

AzDO

One thing we can do is use a pipeline tool, such as Azure DevOps, to respond to issues Uptime Kuma identifies.

First, let’s create a repo to hold some work. This could be in Azure Repos or Github. For ease, I’ll use a local repo.

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-19.png

Next, click “Setup a Build” to create the pipeline file

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-20.png

choose starter pipeline

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-21.png

then we can save and run just to see it works

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-22.png

next, let’s make a webhook to invoke this pipeline. I often mix up the service connections and hooks. This is a connection under pipelines. Click create and choose “Incoming Webhook”:

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-23.png

We’ll name it UptimeKuma and grant access. You may want to restrict this later, depending on your AzDO org. Since this is a private tenant, I can safely grant access to all pipelines.

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-24.png

We can now refer to that Webhook and Connection (I make them the same for ease, but you can use different names for the connection and webhook name if you desire).

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-25.png

Because we changed main, that will trigger an invokation

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-26.png

We can now use that Webhook, which works just fine with Uptime Kuma webhook

https://dev.azure.com/princessking/_apis/public/distributedtask/webhooks/UptimeKuma?api-version=6.0-preview

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-27.png

We can verify by clicking test

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-28.png

and seeing a build invoke

Because I have AzDO tied to Slack, Datadog, etc i can see build outputs in my chat windows

Instead of stopping here with a demo.. Let’s complete the work - we can actually make this function as a mitigation system.

The quickest way is just to set our k8s external config as a base64’ed secret on the pipeline

$ cat ~/.kube/config | base64 -w 0

and save that to a secret

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-31.png

Then change the pipeline to install Kubectl and decode the k8s config and bounce the pod by label

trigger:
- main

resources:
  webhooks:
    - webhook: UptimeKuma
      connection: UptimeKuma 

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

steps:
- task: KubectlInstaller@0
  displayName: 'Install Kubectl'
  inputs:
    kubectlVersion: 'latest'

- script: |
    set -x

    mkdir -p ~/.kube
    echo $(MyK8sConfig) | base64 --decode > ~/.kube/config 
  displayName: 'Set Kubeconfig'

- script: |
    kubectl delete pod `kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/component=sidecar-injector -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}"`

  displayName: 'Bounce the Pod'

Note: yes, you could use a Kubernetes service connection. You could also use a containerized Azure DevOps private agent that does not require a kube config. However, for the sake of ease, this method required no private pool nor complicated interactions with the kubernetes CLI Azure DevOps extension which is why I went this direction.

Before we save, we can see the injector pod is 22d old

$ kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/component=sidecar-injector
NAME                                     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
dapr-sidecar-injector-5765dc95d9-7lpgm   1/1     Running   0          22d

I’ll save which invokes a run

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-32.png

which I can then see bounces the pod

$ kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/component=sidecar-injector
NAME                                     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
dapr-sidecar-injector-5765dc95d9-7lpgm   1/1     Running   0          22d
$ kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/component=sidecar-injector
NAME                                     READY   STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE
$ kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/component=sidecar-injector
NAME                                     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
dapr-sidecar-injector-5765dc95d9-hblrc   1/1     Running   0          30s

Luckily I did not enable the notification in Uptime Kuma just yet, otherwise we would have had an infinite loop (potententially) as It would bounce, detect its down and trigger a new bounce

This actually highlights a design issue. Pods change IPs when rotated. So we really cannot fixate on the IP.

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-34.png

While Pods themselves do not expose DNS, services do. There is a Dapr Injector Service presently, but it’s just for HTTPS traffic.

Let’s create a quick HealthZ service so we can easily reach 8080 on http.

builder@DESKTOP-QADGF36:~/Workspaces/nginx-fixing$ cat myDaprSvc.yml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: dapr-sidecar-injector-healthz
  namespace: default
spec:
  internalTrafficPolicy: Cluster
  ipFamilies:
  - IPv4
  ipFamilyPolicy: SingleStack
  ports:
  - name: http
    port: 8080
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8080
  selector:
    app: dapr-sidecar-injector
  sessionAffinity: None
  type: ClusterIP

builder@DESKTOP-QADGF36:~/Workspaces/nginx-fixing$ kubectl apply -f myDaprSvc.yml
service/dapr-sidecar-injector-healthz created

We can now use http://dapr-sidecar-injector-healthz.default.svc.cluster.local:8080/healthz in the Uptime Kuma check which will direct to the current pod.

We’ll also set retry to 1 just in case there is a delay in pod rotation

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-35.png

We now see the down detector trigger a pipeline run

/content/images/2022/03/utkuma-36.png

The pod rotates

builder@DESKTOP-QADGF36:~/Workspaces/nginx-fixing$ kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/component=sidecar-injector
NAME                                     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
dapr-sidecar-injector-5765dc95d9-hblrc   1/1     Running   0          15m
builder@DESKTOP-QADGF36:~/Workspaces/nginx-fixing$ kubectl get pod -l app.kubernetes.io/component=sidecar-injector
NAME                                     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
dapr-sidecar-injector-5765dc95d9-tlm4x   1/1     Running   0          34s

and we show as being up once again:

Summary

Today we setup Uptime Kuma in our Kubernetes cluster and configured it to monitor a local app (non containerized), Cribl, a TCP based server (Minecraft), and lastly a containerized service inside the same cluster Uptime Kuma was running in.

We dug into Notifications including Teams and invoking Azure DevOps via Webhooks. Lastly, in the webhook integration with AzDO we built out a full service check with remediation.

Uptime Kuma is a fantastic app I will certainly continue to use to monitor systems. I look forward to seeing what the author does with it (including possibly productizing it in the future).
