history

Project history and usage

dish is a tiny one-shot monitoring service for checking HTTP and ICMP endpoints and TCP sockets.

Project history

The official README presents dish as a small Go monitoring tool with remote or local configuration, concurrent checks, and no dependencies. Its GitHub repository was created in 2022 and exposes a command under go.vxn.dev/dish/cmd/dish.

Adoption history

dish is young compared with classic Unix monitoring tools, but its README shows package-manager and Go-module adoption paths: go install, Homebrew, manual GitHub releases, Docker examples, and a pkg.go.dev module page.

How it is used

Users run dish with a local JSON file or remote REST JSON API source, then optionally send results to a remote API, Telegram, Prometheus Pushgateway, webhook, or Discord. Its one-shot design makes it natural for cron jobs and small decentralized monitors.

Why package nerds care

dish is package-nerd interesting as the minimal end of monitoring: a single CLI, JSON input, zero runtime dependencies, and output integrations that avoid running a full agent stack.

Timeline

2022: GitHub repository created.
2020s: README documents Go install, Homebrew, release binaries, Docker, and cron usage.

Related projects

The official README connects dish to Prometheus Pushgateway, Telegram, Discord, Docker, and Go module tooling through its supported notification and install paths.
