The long-awaited EDDIE version 0.30 has now been released. This is a
major release and incorporates many significant changes to improve the
configuration and extendability. It also incorporates new features
such as remote HTTP/HTTPS monitoring and SNMP client support for
monitoring devices with SNMP or storing SNMP information to RRD files,
for example. The Elvin connection code has been totally re-written and
is much more stable and reliable now.
A fully updated User's Manual, as well as a Developer's Guide, are also
now available.
What is EDDIE? The EDDIE Tool is a system and network monitoring,
security and performance analysis tool. It is very customizable and
multi-platform. Currently Linux, Solaris and HP-UX are supported.
Why is this of interest to the Python community? EDDIE has been
written in 100% threaded Python. All system and network checks are
written in native Python. Directive rules, which are written by the
user to perform monitoring and checking tasks, take advantage of a
localized Python environment and are evaluated by the Python
interpreter itself. This allows for complex rules to be written
with ease.
Everything can be obtained from the usual place,
