Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : netlogger
Version : 2.2.5
Upstream Author : Dan Gunter <dkgunter@lbl.gov>

Description : distributed system logging tool
Instrument distributed applications to log events for analysis based on
time correlated and/or object correlated events. Includes the following
components:
* NetLogger message format and data model: A simple, common message
format for all monitoring events which includes high-precision
timestamps
* NetLogger client API library: C/C++, Java, and Python calls that you
add to your existing source code to generate monitoring events. The
destination and logging level of NetLogger messages are all easily
controlled using an environment variable.
* NetLogger visualization tool (nlv) : a powerful, customizable
X-Windows tool or viewing and analysis of event logs based on time
correlated and/or object correlated events.
* NetLogger host/network monitoring tools: a collection of instrumented
system monitoring tools: nl_vmstat, nl_netstat, nl_tcpdump, an
interface to Ganglia, etc.
* NetLogger storage and retrieval tools, including:
* netlogd: a daemon that collects NetLogger events from several
places at a single, central host
* Archive: An event archive system for NetLogger data, based on
mySQL
* nlforward: forward all netlogger files in a specified directory to
a given location
Perhaps several related packages could be created for the different
components.
