Hi,
OpenSMART 1.0 (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 oracle and db2 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)
- monitoring for many standard products available (Oracle Database,
UDB DB2, WebSphereMQ, WebSphere Application Server, OS-specific event
logger (like errpt for AIX or eventlog for Windows)
- System Documentation for your clients is automatically included
(through ServDoc (http://servdoc.sourceforge.net)
- Application Monitoring in High-Availability-clusters is supported
(there, you don't know always, where your application is running)
- OpenSMART is in use in production data centers
- For many standard applications there is a monitoring guide (how to
monitor this
application) included.
