Passing `--data-raw` to curl implies the request is method will be POST. Unless we intend to do something entirely different, -X method override shouldn't be used. Curl's author Daniel Stenberg (@bagder) wrote about this back in 2015 https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2015/09/11/unnecessary-use-of-curl-x/

# Attaching Logs
|
|
|
|
SITE_NAME ping endpoints accept HTTP HEAD, GET and POST request methods.
|
|
|
|
When using HTTP POST, **you can include arbitrary payload in the request body**.
|
|
If the request body looks like a UTF-8 string, SITE_NAME will log the first 10 kilobytes of
|
|
the request body, so you can inspect it later.
|
|
|
|
## Logging Command Output
|
|
|
|
In this example, we run `certbot renew`, capture its output, and submit
|
|
the captured output to SITE_NAME:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
m=$(/usr/bin/certbot renew 2>&1)
|
|
curl -fsS --retry 3 --data-raw "$m" PING_URL
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## In Combination with the `/fail` Endpoint
|
|
|
|
We can extend the previous example and signal either success or failure
|
|
depending on the exit code:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
url=PING_URL
|
|
|
|
m=$(/usr/bin/certbot renew 2>&1)
|
|
|
|
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then url=$url/fail; fi
|
|
curl -fsS --retry 3 --data-raw "$m" $url
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## All in One Line
|
|
|
|
Finally, all of the above can be packaged in a single line. The one-line
|
|
version can be put directly in crontab, without using a wrapper script.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
m=$(/usr/bin/certbot renew 2>&1); curl -fsS --data-raw "$m" "PING_URL$([ $? -ne 0 ] && echo -n /fail)"
|
|
```
