Overview

Conman monitors network interfaces and ICMP ping availability of hosts, and then runs a command on failure of either to restart the interface, or do something else.

    "hostname": "example.com",
    "connections": {
        "vpn": {
            "monitor": {

                "icmp": "10.0.0.1"
            },
            "restart_cmd": "sudo systemctl restart netextender.service",
            "interval": 10000,
            "notify": {
                "email": [
                    "[email protected]",
                    "[email protected]"
                ]
            }
        }
