Rembasy project README
The rembassy project seeks to be an open source server monitoring architecture easy to extend and customize. Rembassy is developed in the context of an End of Studies Project for an Engineer in Computer Science at University of A Coruña.
The software uses Python as base language, XML-RPC for network communitacion, SQLAlchemy as database layer and Zope as Web user interface framework. Some of the features included are:
- A Rembassy daemon that runs as master monitoring host or agent.
- A Basic API to develop plugins.
- A set of built-in plugins:
- Echo plugin: for testing purposes.
- Folder plugin: to organize monitoring objects.
- FTP plugin.
- HTTP plugin.
- PING plugin.
- PROXY plugin: to access monitorized servers in a centralized manner.
- Simple probe plugin: to build templated monitoring objects.
- Simple service plugin: to schedule checks and build templated monitoring using attributes from other objects.
- Web user interface.
- SSL support.
