Bug#337944: RFA: mon -- monitor hosts/services/whatever and alert about problems
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I'd like to find somebody to adopt the mon and libmon-client-perl
packages. I just haven't been able to give them the attention they
deserve, particularly since having a baby.
The biggest outstanding issue is the need to switch from running the
daemon as user "daemon" to using a dedicated account. I've got a patch
for this from Emmanuel Lacour which does most of the job but needs a
bit of work. I'll send you the patch and our email about it. I'd also
gladly supply my CVS archive and saved email about the packages.
The package description is:
"mon" is a tool for monitoring the availability of services. Services
may be network-related, environmental conditions, or anything that can
be tested with software. If a service is unavailable mon can tell you
with syslog, email, your pager or a script of your choice. You can
control who gets each alert based on the time of day or day of week,
and you can control how often an existing problem is re-alerted.
.
