Getting Started with Hermes: Connect WeChat Gateway and Create a Server Monitoring Skill

Configure Message Gateway and Connect WeChat

Log in to the enterprise WeChat admin console at https://work.weixin.qq.com/wework_admin/frame#/. In Security & Management → Management Tools → Create Robot select the API mode, then configure the API to obtain the Bot ID and Secret. Ensure all required message permissions are checked.

Connect Hermes Message Gateway

Start a chat with Hermes; the system automatically checks whether the configuration is successful.

Create Server Inspection Task and Package as a Skill

Create the Skill

A script that reports CPU and memory usage is available. In a chat with Hermes, request that the script be turned into a skill and bound to a scheduled inspection task.

sar -u 10 1 | awk ‘/^Average/{printf "CPU平均: %.1f%%
", 100-$8}’
sar -r 10 1 | awk ‘/^Average/{printf "内存平均: %.1f%%
", $5}’

After the skill is created, Hermes validates it automatically.

Schedule Inspection and Send to Enterprise WeChat Robot

The first chat with the robot does not yet store the ChatId in Hermes. Send a message to the robot via the enterprise WeChat contacts (Enterprise WeChat → Smart Robot → Select Robot → Send Message) to initialize the ChatId.

Configure Hermes to run the inspection every 10 minutes and send the output to the robot. Then modify the schedule to run daily at 8 AM.

Testing confirms that the skill executes on schedule and the results are delivered to the WeChat robot, providing a production‑ready automated inspection.

Review

1. Configure the Hermes channel and connect an enterprise WeChat robot (or alternative platforms such as personal WeChat or Feishu). 2. Create a skill through chat, encapsulating the server inspection script. 3. Create a scheduled inspection task through chat and route alerts to the enterprise WeChat robot, achieving autonomous monitoring.
