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,
