Monito...::UNIX(3pm)

💅 Monitoring::Livestatus::UNIX

okay bestie, so this is Monitoring::Livestatus::UNIX, a lil Perl module (that's 3pm energy, perl module manual, you know the vibe) that works as a connector with unix sockets. yep. unix sockets. we love a local-only queen. ✨

It's part of the Monitoring::Livestatus family, and it's the one you reach for when your livestatus thingy lives behind a unix socket instead of a network port. slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS

use Monitoring::Livestatus;
my $nl = Monitoring::Livestatus::UNIX->new( '/var/lib/livestatus/livestatus.sock' );
my $hosts = $nl->selectall_arrayref("GET hosts");

like. look at her. two lines and you're already pulling hosts out of livestatus. main character energy fr fr 🫶

🎀 CONSTRUCTOR

✨ new ( [ARGS] )

Creates a Monitoring::Livestatus::UNIX object. new takes at least the socketpath — no socket path, no object, no vibes. sorry, that's the rule.

The arguments are the same as in Monitoring::Livestatus, so if you already know that one you already know this one, iykyk 💅

Here's the cute part: if the constructor only gets a single argument, it assumes that one argument is the socket specification. one arg = it's the socket. that's it. that's the whole bit.

🚨 bestie listen: use either socker OR server. not both. pick a lane, we're not doing both at once 🙈

🔥 METHODS

(yeah... this section is literally empty in the original. not me pointing it out. it's giving "the methods are inherited, go look at the parent." iconic of her honestly. 👑)

okay that's the whole page bestie!! 💖 This was the Monitoring::Livestatus::UNIX page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and just so we're on the record: it's running on perl v5.40.1 and it's dated 2025-05-15. also the footer says Monito...::UNIX(3pm) which — yes — is the same page, the header/footer just truncate her name like that. iconic. bye bestie, go query some hosts 🫶🌸
