This service powers the results for uptime monitoring in Sentry.

Local Development

(The Dockerfile.localdev file is likely not what you want--it's only used for running linux-specific local tests.)

We have lots of tests that run quickly and will therefore provide you with a quick development loop. For more holistic testing, you can run the uptime-checker on your machine.

Dependencies

• Protobuffers and CMake

    brew install protobuf
    brew install cmake

Running with local Sentry

• Prepare your local development environment by following the guide here
• (For now), ensure the following settings are in your ~/.sentry/sentry.conf.py file:

    SENTRY_FEATURES['organizations:insights-uptime'] = True
    SENTRY_EVENTSTREAM = "sentry.eventstream.kafka.KafkaEventStream"
    SENTRY_USE_UPTIME = True

• Ensure Sentry is started with ingest and workers flags:

    sentry devserver --workers --ingest

• The Makefile defines a few targets: run and run-verbose run the server (with additional logging), and test for running all tests.
