Dependencies

This component relies on my ohdear-sdk Python package, an unofficial client for the Oh Dear API.

Usage

This can be configured fully via the Integrations interface. Click the following link to add a new Oh Dear site.

You'll need an API key from Oh Dear, you can generate one here. You'll also need to know the id of the site, you can do this by browsing to the sites page, selecting the site you want to monitor, and copying the id from the URL. Alternatively, this is shown at the bottom of the settings page under the API section.

The "Scan interval" can also be configured, this defaults to polling the API every 5 minutes.
