Website Monitor Console

A console-based Python application that monitors the performance and availability of websites. Users can define websites and specify check intervals, and the application continuously tracks the uptime and response times for each website.

Features

• Monitor the uptime and response time of multiple websites.
• Customizable check intervals for each website.
• Console-based interface.
• Colored output for success, warnings, and errors.
• URL validation to ensure valid website entries.

Usage

1. Run the application:

2. Enter the website URLs you want to monitor. Make sure the URLs start with http:// or https://. You can enter multiple websites.

3. For each website, enter the check interval (in seconds) for how often the app should check that website.

4. Once you're done entering websites, type done to start the monitoring process.

5. The app will continuously monitor each website, providing colored output for:

   • Green: Website is UP with response time.
   • Yellow: Website is DOWN but returned an HTTP status code.
   • Red: Website is DOWN due to a network or connection error.

Example

$ python main.py
Enter a website URL (or type 'done' to finish): https://example.com
Enter the check interval in seconds for https://example.com: 30
Enter a website URL (or type 'done' to finish): https://anotherwebsite.com
Enter the check interval in seconds for https://anotherwebsite.com: 60
Enter a website URL (or type 'done' to finish): done
