Subject: OpenSMART 0.4 released
Hi,
OpenSMART 0.4 (The Open (System|Source) Monitoring and Reporting Tool)
is released.
OpenSMART is a monitoring (and reporting)
environment for servers and applications in a network.
Main Features are:
- Nice Webfrontend (browser independent)
- for the OpenSMART server: very few dependencies apart from a perl
installation
- for the OpenSMART clients (these are your monitored servers):
just a perl installation is needed (no extra perl packages, no C-Compiler)
- installation is done in no more than 5 minutes
- it's easy to write more checks
- XML configuration for the clients (what to check)
- OpenSMART's main target is application monitoring
- Supported Platforms: Linux, HP/UX, Solaris, *BSD, AIX,
Windows (only as client)
- good documentation
- Database backend (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle are supported)
- GPL
- Demo-Installation at sourceforge.net available.
- you can monitor an oracle database without DBI - Installation (in
fact: You need just your oracle installation and a standard perl and
the OpenSMART client)
- scripts for error notification by email are included. You can easily
write your own notification scripts (in any language you want)
For download and demo, see
http://opensmart.sourceforge.net/

- new check: mysql - monitor values shown by "mysqladmin status"
with thresholds
- rfe item# 1265616 implemented: logs have now the ability to check
the age of the logfile
- rfe item# 1271613 implemented: check simple: execution timeout has

- agent: ssl communication between OpenSMART server and agent is now
possible
- server: deployment/collector server are now mod_perl compatible
- server: rss-feeder for notification added
- frontend: much better performance / mod_perl compatibility added
