EDDIE version 0.28 has been released. Changes include: bugfixes; improved stability (more thread-safe); many more system stats collected from Solaris. ...
Greetings: I'm writing a networked GUI program for hosts monitoring. The idea is the ability to visually monitor up to several hundred hosts in more or less...
... Sounds good, and the fact that it is written in Python gets my thumbs up! It sounds like you are using the console facility to get the current states. This...
... Yes, exactly what I need! ... Yes, perhaps also rule=None for things that are only meant to be displayed. ... These both sound interesting; however, I'm...
I've spent some time playing with Eddie. Overall impression is very favorable. I really liked the CLASSes functionality, a very nice touch. 1. Under solaris...

... Ok, the changes look relatively straightforward. I should be able to get this into the next release. If you want to test it before the release I can send...
Hi Arcady, thanks for the feedback. Will answer your questions below as best I can. ... Good point. We have probably relied on eddie_wrapper or the init script...
... Yes, I was referring to the log emails. So, ADMINLEVEL will only affect the email behaviour, not the logging? The comment for the option in the sample...
... Yes, it only effects what level of logs are emailed to an 'admin', not what is logged to the log file. I will re-write the ADMINLEVEL description to be...
I'd like to be able to bind eddie-tool to a priviliged port[1] (under 1024), but don't want to run it as a priviliged user. It would be nice if eddie were able...
Hi, Is there a way to catch processes that hang? We currently have a perl script that does that, and I want to find out if I can replace it with EDDIE. Some...
... I presume your definition of "hung" in this scenario is a process which is consuming all CPU when it shouldn't be. This requires Eddie to remember the...

Some (minor) issues with the documentation. 1. There is a typo near: "2.5.4. PID PID-specific arguments: * pid: specifies the pid file to perform checks on....
... Ah yes Eddie doesn't currently support wildcard process names. I hope to support this at a later date, so you could specify something like procname="*" to...
... This has now been corrected. ... Not really, sorry (I know documentation is lacking, that is one of the priorities at the moment...). I can try & give a...
Hi all: As I promised earlier, I'm releasing the code for NHMON (Networked Host Monitor), a GUI for monitoring multiple remote hosts. I'd imagine that it...
On the newer Linux systems you can have EXT3 filesystems. In that case the FS directive won't work. It's because in lib/Linux/df.py there is a hardcoded...
Hi Kees, thanks for the patch. The filesystem types are indeed hard-coded and the ability to specify alternate filesystem types for the FS directive are in ...

... Ahh, good old Linux. That would probably do the trick nicely. Will give it some testing and consider it for a future release. Cheers, CM -- Chris Miles ...
A feature request: If I fire up eddie, and the config directory is missing[1] (or if there are config file problems), I'd like to have a way of detecting it in...
The next version of EDDIE has had a number of interesting changes. The most obvious changes are to the config which makes some parts of the configuration not...
I have significantly updated the User's Manual with all the changes that have been made for the next release. If you are testing the pre-release version you...
Have added a new directive called HTTP. It provides the facility to fetch URLs via HTTP or HTTPS and test the results, including the time the connection took...
