Nibbler - Simple Server Monitor - 0.1 release

Posted At : September 27, 2006 11:05 PM

I've been working on a simple server monitor to make it easy for non guru administrators to monitor servers. It is designed to monitor web servers initially but built in a flexible way to allow extra services to be monitored such as SMTP and SNMP, DB's etc.

I've just put the v0.1 release up and the release notes are below:

NOTE: ALPHA release, not working in any useful way yet for systems monitoring - for developers only

The basic structure of the application is coming together. The following functionality is available:

  • Create/edit/delete hosts
  • Create/edit/delete services (HTTP check only)
  • Run basic http check and return response
Next release is focussed around getting the tracking table populated to report on uptime and server status.
