Nibbler - Simple Server Monitor - 0.2 release

Posted At : October 7, 2006 5:40 AM

Nibbler 0.2 has been released earlier this week (4-Oct-06) with good progress on the service logging area. The changes are below:

Changes:

  • Saving status of services is now working
  • History page now working in limited fashion
  • Add user agent field to HTTP connection displays as "Nibbler Server Monitor (http://nibbler.sourceforge.net/)"
I've recently come across cakePHP and am looking at migrating it to use it as it will make the development of nibbler simpler and quicker. It will also enable the advanced features I want in it such as RSS feeds, AJAX interface and linking with multiple nibbler servers.

I've already got the base structure in place so hopefully it won't delay the 0.3 release significantly.

Cheers, Mark

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.
