# BadNews: Matrix Bot, Bringer of Bad News
|
|
|
|
## What is this?
|
|
|
|
`BadNews` is a [Matrix](https://matrix.org) bot, watching your systemd/journald
|
|
logs, and reporting bad news to you.
|
|
|
|
## Why?
|
|
|
|
A mix of wanting to toy around with the [matrix_sdk
|
|
crate](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk) and getting some simple
|
|
alerts from my hosted services.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Write up a configuration file at `config.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
homeserver: "https://matrix.example.net"
|
|
username: "bad-news"
|
|
password: "matrix password for user bad-news"
|
|
state_dir: "state/"
|
|
room_id: "!DeaDbEef:example.net"
|
|
units:
|
|
- name: nginx.service
|
|
filter: "\\[warn\\] .*"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run the bot:
|
|
|
|
``` sh
|
|
cargo run -- --config config.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
