# gatus
## Overview
The gatus stack is a NetGrimoire service monitor that provides real-time monitoring and alerts for the Gatus application. It uses Docker Swarm as its underlying infrastructure and exposes services via Caddy reverse proxies.
The gatus Stack is a service monitor for NetGrimoire, providing real-time monitoring and insights into the health and performance of various services. This stack consists of the Gatus service, which serves as the primary monitoring interface, as well as Caddy reverse proxying traffic to this service.

## Build & Configuration
### Prerequisites
To build and deploy the gatus stack, you need to have Docker Swarm installed on your manager node (znas). Additionally, ensure that you have a Caddy instance running with the required labels.
To deploy the gatus Stack, you will need to ensure that Docker and Swarm are installed on your system.
### Volume Setup
```bash
mkdir -p /DockerVol/gatus/config
chown -R gatus:gatus /DockerVol/gatus/config
mkdir -p /DockerVol/gatus/data
chown -R gatus:gatus /DockerVol/gatus
```
### Environment Variables

### First Run
After deploying the stack, you need to update the Caddy configuration and restart it for the changes to take effect.
After initial deployment, you may need to configure any additional settings or import data.

### Accessing gatus
| Service | URL | Purpose |
|---------|-----|---------|
- **Gatus Monitor**: https://status.netgrimoire.com
- **Caddy Reverse Proxy**: status.netgrimoire.com, gatus:8080
- **Gatus**: https://status.netgrimoire.com (Primary interface)
### Primary Use Cases
To use the gatus monitor in NetGrimoire, you need to integrate it with other services that expose their metrics via Caddy reverse proxies.
To utilize the gatus Stack in NetGrimoire, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that you have access to the Caddy reverse proxy configuration.
2. Visit the Gatus service at <https://status.netgrimoire.com>.
### NetGrimoire Integrations
The gatus stack integrates with other NetGrimoire services such as Crowdsec and Authentik. The `GATUS_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable is used to load the configuration from a YAML file.
The gatus Stack integrates with various other services in NetGrimoire through environment variables and labels, including:
* CrowdsSec
* Authentik
---
## Operations
### Monitoring
Monitoring is enabled for the gatus service using Kuma monitors.
Kuma monitors are available for the Gatus service.
```bash
docker stack services gatus
```
To view logs, use:
```bash
docker service logs -f gatus
```
### Backups
Critical data is stored in the `/DockerVol/gatus/data` directory. It's essential to ensure that this volume is properly backed up regularly.
Critical data is stored on /DockerVol/gatus/data. Reconstructing this volume should not be necessary, as all critical information is expected to remain intact during standard operations.
### Restore
To restore the gatus stack from a backup, run the following command:
If restoring from a backup is required, follow these steps:
```bash
cd services/swarm/stack/gatus
./deploy.sh
```

## Common Failures
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---------|-------|-----|
| Service not responding | Docker Swarm service not running | Check if the service is running with `docker services` and restart it with `docker service restart gatus` |
| Caddy reverse proxy issues | Caddy configuration errors | Review the Caddy configuration files for any syntax errors or missing labels. |
| Metrics not displayed | Missing metrics in configuration file | Ensure that all required metrics are included in the configuration file. |
* **Symptom**: Gatus service is not responding.
* **Cause**: Network issues or Caddy reverse proxy failures.
* **Fix**: Check network connections and ensure that the Caddy configuration is correct.
* **Symptom**: Unable to access Gatus.
* **Cause**: Incorrect Caddy reverse proxy configuration or Gatus service not running.
* **Fix**: Review the Caddy configuration and restart the Gatus service.
