Process Monitor MS Teams Webhook

You can get a notification on MS Teams when your long task on a remote machine has been terminated.

This package contains two python scripts:

• Webhook: You can send a message to MS Teams via webhook
• Process monitor: It monitors whether processes are running or not based on their PIDs. If a PID is terminated (i.e., no longer exists), it sends a message

Dependencies

• requests
• psutil
• schedule

You can install the dependencies via pip

> pip install requests psutil schedule

How to use

• Please create an incoming webhook in your MS Teams channel
• Please create setting.ini by referring settings.sample.ini. You need to specify Webhook url and the process ids (i.e., PIDs) in the file.
• To check a PID for your process, you can use ps command. For example,

DongGyun@Server1:~$ ps -ef | grep python 
DongGyun  510870  510860  0 16:17 pts/11   00:00:00 python3 long_experiment.py

• In this case, the PID I need to add in settings.ini is 510870.
• Run monitor.py in a screen session. For example,

> screen -S monitor # it will start a screen session with the name, monitor.
> python3 monitor.py # Run the monitor script
# Press Ctrl+A d to detach the screen session

• If you want to modify pids in settings.ini, you don't need to stop the monitor. The monitor will automatically recognize the updated pids in config.
