Oculus
Oculus is a host monitor system, that is designed to be easy to administer. It consists of a daemon (oculusd) that runs on the monitored host and a web application (Odie, Oculus Daemon InterfacE) that fetches info from all the hosts. For now, this page is mostly a placeholder until the first working version is up and running on our systems. This way, I make sure it is useful and actively maintained.
Features
- Easy-to-use web interface to monitor all the hosts at once (Odie).
- E-mail alarms (to be implemented; part of the alarm framework is in already).
- A plaintext protocol to query hosts status. Allowed commands can be limited per host.
- XML style configuration of the oculusd instances.
- Event API to register events that fire actions.
- Action API for easy sending of messages, trigger commands in the master node, etc.
Release notes for latest version (0.16-2)
Oculusd 0.16-2 is another compatibility release. Installation will be done in /usr (not /usr/local), to accomodate for RPM creation. If you want another target directory, just edit the Makefile.config file. This is also the first release to have an RPM. For now only an x86_64 is available. You are invited to create other packages with the oculusd-0.16-2.spec file.
