Sauron
======

[](#sauron)

Laravel 5.3 project to monitor changes in Whois and DNS records.

Utilising [Laravel Queues & Jobs](https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/queues), checks can be performed on a set of defined domains for either DNS or Whois records. The [Laravel Scheduler](https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/scheduling) can be used to arrange when these checks are run.

Alternatively a new set of [Laravel artisan commands](https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/artisan#writing-commands) are provided to run these checks `php artisan checks:run dns` and `php artisan checks:run whois`.

Both checks return JSON results which are stored as text diffs in a single [GitHub Gist](https://gist.github.com/), by storing them this way; instead of say a database it prevents data duplication and allows you to see the historical differences over time.

Configuration
=============

[](#configuration)

- ENV - `SAURON_EMAIL`
- Config - `github.connections.main.token` ()
- ENV - `SAURON_GITHUB_GIST_ID`
- ENV - `SAURON_JSONWHOISAPI_API_KEY`
- ENV - `SAURON_JSONWHOISAPI_CUSTOMER_ID`

TODO
====

[](#todo)

- Add notifications upon changes - email, slack, webhook
- Create interface for storing records, so either github, bitbucket, text file could be used
- Add options for using different providers, currently using dns-lg.com for DNS records and jsonwhoisapi.com for Whois checks
- Create Laravel/Unit tests
