Function: getMonitor()

getMonitor(type: "http" | "port" | "ping" | "dns", config?: MonitorConfig, forceConfigUpdate?: boolean): IMonitorService

Defined in: electron/services/monitoring/MonitorFactory.ts:269

Retrieves the monitor service instance for a given monitor type, creating it if necessary.

Parameters​

type​

The monitor type string. Must be a valid registered type.

"http" | "port" | "ping" | "dns"

config?​

MonitorConfig

Optional monitor configuration to apply to the instance.

forceConfigUpdate?​

boolean = false

If true, updates the configuration on an existing instance even if already set.

Returns​

IMonitorService

The monitor service instance for the specified type.

Remarks​

  • Validates the monitor type against the registry.
  • Uses the singleton pattern: returns the cached instance if available, otherwise creates a new one. - If a configuration is provided, updates the instance's configuration if forced or if the instance is new. - Throws if the monitor type is unsupported or if no factory is registered for the type.
  • Configuration failures are logged but do not prevent service retrieval.

Example​

const monitor = getMonitor("http", { timeout: 5000 });

Throws​

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error If the monitor type is not supported or no service factory is registered for the type.
