# 🛰️ AAISP Status Feed → Discord Webhook Notifier
|
|
|
|
Monitors the **Andrews & Arnold (AAISP)** status Atom feed and posts **new incidents, updates, and closures** to a Discord channel using a webhook.
|
|
|
|
This script:
|
|
|
|
* ✔ Detects new incidents
|
|
* ✔ Detects updates to existing incidents
|
|
* ✔ Detects severity changes
|
|
* ✔ Detects status changes (Open → Closed)
|
|
* ✔ Tracks each incident separately
|
|
* ✔ Sends color-coded Discord embeds
|
|

|
## 📌 Features
|
|
|
|
### 🔍 Intelligent Feed Monitoring
|
|
|
|
The script constantly fetches the official AAISP Atom feed:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
https://aastatus.net/atom.cgi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It tracks each incident by ID and detects:
|
|
|
|
* New incidents
|
|
* Updated incidents
|
|
* Edited content
|
|
* Status changes
|
|
* Severity changes
|
|
* Updated timestamps
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 🎨 Color-Coded Notifications
|
|
|
|
The Discord embed color reflects the current **status** and **severity**
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Status / Severity | Colour | Meaning |
|
|
|------------------ | --------- | -------------------------|
|
|
| **Closed** | 🟩 Green | Issue resolved |
|
|
| **Open** | 🔵 Blue | Active incident |
|
|
| **Minor** | 🟨 Yellow | Low-impact issue |
|
|
| **MSO** | 🔴 Red | Major service outage |
|
|
| **PEW** | 🟦 Cyan | Planned engineering work |
|
|
| Default | ⚪ Grey | Unknown/other |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 📦 Persistent State Tracking
|
|
|
|
Unlike simple "new entry only" scripts, this version uses:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/tmp/aaisp_atom_state.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The state file stores:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"<incident-id>": {
|
|
"status": "...",
|
|
"severity": "...",
|
|
"updated": "...",
|
|
"content": "..."
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This allows the script to detect:
|
|
|
|
* “Open → Closed”
|
|
* Severity changes (Minor → MSO)
|
|
* New updates in the AAISP feed content
|
|
* Edits made to existing entries
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 📣 Clean Discord Notifications
|
|
|
|
Each message includes:
|
|
|
|
* Title with status/severity
|
|
* Full link to the AAISP page
|
|
* Markdown-formatted update content
|
|
* Timestamps
|
|
* Status, severity, and categories
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Closed] BT: Some BT lines dropped (Status changed Open → Closed)
|
|
```
|

## 🛠️ Installation
|
|
|
|
### 1. Clone or download the script
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://git.ncltech.co.uk/phil/aastatus-to-discord
|
|
cd aastatus-to-discord
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Install dependencies
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
|
|
* `requests`
|
|
|
|
### 3. Edit your Discord webhook URL
|
|
|
|
Open the script and set:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
WEBHOOK_URL = "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/XXXXXXX"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 🚀 Running the Script
|
|
|
|
### Manual run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python3 aastatus_to_discord.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run automatically every 5 minutes (cron)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/aastatus_to_discord.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
State is preserved between runs because it stores incident data in:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/tmp/aaisp_atom_state.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 🔧 Configuration
|
|
|
|
If you want to override the state file path, edit:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
STATE_FILE = Path("/tmp/aaisp_atom_state.json")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can place it anywhere—e.g., `/var/lib/aaisp/state.json`.
|
|
|

|
|
## 🧪 Testing
|
|
|
|
You can simulate feed updates by:
|
|
|
|
* Editing timestamps in the XML
|
|
* Changing "Open" → "Closed"
|
|
* Adding a dummy category/status element
|
|
* Modifying content
|
|
|
|
The script will immediately detect the change and fire a Discord message.
|

|
## 🛡️ Error Handling & Logging
|
|
|
|
The script logs all operations:
|
|
|
|
* Feed fetch attempts
|
|
* Parsing failures
|
|
* State changes
|
|
* Discord webhook failures
|
|
|
|
Logs appear on stdout and are suitable for systemd or cron.
