Possible next open source contribution: monitoring

Posted On // Leave a Comment

I wanted to create a free server resource monitoring platform for our server management customers to help predict when things are likely to go wrong. I looked at ServerDensity, Observium and NodeQuery but each had their pitfalls.


I spent the weekend learning Phalcon and produced something quite similar to NodeQuery and have a few trusted customers trying it out. It seems to work fine but needs some there are parts that need improving before it's used publicly. I will also be adding a unique feature: statistic predictions.


Before any public release, I would appreciate your opinion on whether it would interest you or not, and if so, whether you would want to use it as part of a hosted service, or a downloadable product (probably open source). If there's enough interest in either route, I'll package it up for that when I've finished the main release. The downloadable option would need some sysadmin knowledge to set up Phalcon.
