Monitoring is an API with a DSL feel to write monitoring daemons in Python. Monitoring works well for the following tasks: * to be notified when incidents happen (email, XMPP, ZeroMQ...) * automatic actions to be taken (restart, rm, git pull...) * to collect system statistics for further processing e.g. graphs * tie into existing/third-party Python code * play along nicely with existing deployment/configuration ecosystem (fabric/cuisine) Overview * monitoring DSL: declarative programming to define monitoring strategy * wide spectrum: from data collection and incident reporting to taking automatic actions * Small, easy to read, a single file API * Revised BSD License Use Cases * ensure service availability: test and start/stop when problems * collect system statistics/data, log locally and/or remotely * alert on system/service health, take actions
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
