NAME
   Juno - Asynchronous event-driven checking mechanism

VERSION
   version 0.009

SYNOPSIS
   This runs an asynchronous checker on two servers (*jack* and *jill*),
   running an HTTP test every 10 seconds with an additional *Host* header.

       my $juno = Juno->new(
           hosts    => [ 'jack', 'jill' ],
           interval => 10,
           checks   => {
               HTTP => {
                   headers => {
                       { 'Host', 'example.com' },
                   },

                   on_result => sub {
                       my $result = shift;
                       ...
                   },
               },
           },
       );

       # makes juno run in the background
       $juno->run;

DESCRIPTION
   Juno is a hub of checking methods (HTTP, Ping, SNMP, etc.) meant to
   provide developers with an asynchronous event-based checking agent that
   has callable events for the each check's result. You can then use this
   probed data for whatever it is you want. This helps you write stuff like
   monitoring services, amongst other things.

   Juno is flexible, introspective and composable but still very
   straight-forward. To use Juno, you simply need to create a new object,
   give it all the information needed (such as the test you want to run)
   and the optional (and possibly required) additional check-specific
   arguments, and then just let it run in the background, working for you.

   Each check Juno runs can have multiple events launched for it. The
   events will only be called if you ask them to be called. This means that
   if you do not want a certain event to run for a specific check, just
   don't provide it.

EVENTS
   Let's go over the events you can run. Each check should provide all of
   these events unless specified otherwise in the check's documentation.

   Also, note that each check tried to decide if a result has been
   successful or not. This could be decided using return codes, response
   headers, failed results, etc. You have callbacks for successful results
   or not, but they do not prevent you from using the other callbacks
   provided. They will still work seamlessly if you provide all of them.

   *   on_before

       This event gets called before the check is actually called.

       One thing you can do with it is to check how long a request takes.
       You can timestamp before a check is done, and once a check has a
       result, you can timestamp that again. The diff between those
       timestamps is how long it took to run the check.

   *   on_result

       This event gets called as soon as a check result has come in. It
       might have failed, it might have been successful. It doesn't matter.

       One usage for it is to timestamp the result to correspond to the
       "before" callback explained above.

       Another usage for it is in case you want to check for yourself if
       the result has been successful or not. Perhaps you have your own API
       you're testing against and you (and only *you*) can decide if it was
       successful.

       You will receive the entire result and can make any decision you
       want.

   *   on_success

       This callback is called when the check decides the result has
       succeeded.

   *   on_fail

       This callback is called when the check decides the result has
       failed.

   Hopefully by now you understand the basic concepts of Juno. The
   following documentation will help you get started on how to use Juno
   exactly, creating a new object and providing it with all the information
   required.

ATTRIBUTES
 checks
   The checks you want to run.

   This is a hashref of the checks. The key is the check itself (correlates
   to the class in "Juno::Check::") and the values are the attributes to
   that check.

       my $juno = Juno->new(
           hosts  => [ '10.0.0.2', '10.0.0.3' ],
           checks => {
               HTTP => {
                   path => '/test',
               },
           },
       );

   The "checks" argument is the most important one, and it is mandatory.
   This defines what will be checked, and adds additional parameters. Some
   might be optional, some might be mandatory. You should read each check's
   documentation to know what options are available and which are required.

   If you need to run multiple checks of the same type, such as two
   different HTTP tests, you will need to run two Juno instances. It's
   perfectly fine, because Juno has no global variables and works
   seamlessly with multiple instances.

   Hopefully this will change in the future, providing more advanced
   options to have multiple checks of the same type.

 hosts
   An arrayref of hosts you want all checks to monitor.

       my $juno = Juno->new(
           hosts => [ '10.0.1.100', 'sub.domain.com' ],
           ...
       );

 interval
   The interval for every check.

       my $juno = Juno->new(
           interval => 5.6,
           ...
       );

   This sets every check to be run every 5.6 seconds.

   Default: 10 seconds.

 after
   Delay seconds for first check.

       my $juno = Juno->new(
           after => 10,
           ...
       );

   This will force all checks to only begin after 10 seconds. It will
   basically rest for 10 seconds and then start the checks. We can't really
   think of many reasons why you would need this (perhaps waiting for a
   database connection?), but nonetheless it is an optional feature and you
   should have control over it if you want to change it.

   If this is set to zero (the default), it will not delay the execution of
   the checks.

   Default: 0 seconds

 prop_attributes
   The "prop_attributes" are an arrayref of attributes that are propagated
   from the main Juno object to each check object. This could be a
   hard-coded list, but it's cleaner to put it in an attribute. This means
   it's available for you to change. There really is no need for you to do
   that.

       my $juno = Juno->new(
           prop_attributes => [ 'hosts', 'interval' ],
           ...
       );

   Default: hosts, interval, after.

METHODS
 run
   Run Juno.

       use Juno;
       use AnyEvent;

       my $cv   = AnyEvent->condvar;
       my $juno = Juno->new(...);

       $juno->run;
       $cv->recv;

   When you call Juno's "run" method, it will begin running the checks.
   Separating the running to a method allows you to set up a Juno object
   (or several Juno objects) in advance and calling them later on when
   you're ready for them to start working.

   However, note that running Juno will not keep the program running by
   itself. You will need some condition to keep the program running, as
   demonstrated above.
