Automatic restart if health check fails

[bcrooker]

While Teslamate has been pretty stable (I only had 1 unhealthy state prior to this weekends Tesla auth issues), I wanted to create a script to detect this and react to it. I wrote this simple script. I set the script up to run via cron. The "teslamate/restart" line is an HTTP IN node-red flow that triggers an email to let me know that a restart was attempted.

#!/bin/bash

if curl -s "http://localhost:4000" | grep "Health check failed"
then
    curl -s "http://192.168.1.11:1880/teslamate/restart"

    sudo docker-compose restart
else
fi

I don't recall the last time I had to restart TeslaMate to clear a "Health check failed" status... When I notice my Gaussmeter flash red I can usually clear it by waking my car, or letting it clear on its own.

... how often do you see Health check failed that does not clear on its own?

Yes, usually it is quite resilient. When Tesla abruptly changed their WAF configuration last week (#1369) this was a widespread issue for several users until this commit resolved it.
