Hi everybody: here is a new version of moodss. Check it out! (or at least the screenshots at http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss3.gif or http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss4.gif :). ### CHANGES ### --- version 14.5 --- added panes to thresholds dialog box for easier user interaction thresholds dialog box table now properly get the input focus tabbing to thresholds table invisible cells is now possible thresholds dialog box keeps its size when reopened if user previously re-dimensioned it fixed MySQL myvars module for 3.23.41 servers, by removing ansi_mode and adding log_long_queries variable all MySQL modules now use mysqltcl library instead of Mytcl library (rpm can be found at http://www.xdobry.de/mysqltcl/) because mysqltcl in written in C instead of C++, has more functionality, and should give more performance thanks to the Tcl object API improved Linux diskstats documentation on the 2.4 kernels problem some HTML documentation screenshots updated ### README ### This is moodss (Modular Object Oriented Dynamic SpreadSheet) version 14.5. Moodss won in the Best System Admin Technology category (Tcl Tips and Tricks, Valuable Real World Programming Examples) at the O'Reilly Tcl/Tk 1999 Conference. Linux Magazine calls it a "lifesaver". Tucows gives it 5 stars (cows or penguins :-). Moodss is a modular application. It displays data described and updated in one or more modules, which can be specified in the command line or dynamically loaded or unloaded while the application is running. Data is originally displayed in tables. Graphical views (graph, bar, 3D pie charts, ...), summary tables (with current, average, minimum and maximum values) and free text viewers can be created from any number of table cells, originating from any of the displayed viewers. Thresholds can be set on any number of cells. Specific modules can easily be developed in the Tcl, Perl and Python scripting languages or in C. A thorough and intuitive drag'n'drop scheme is used for most viewer editing tasks: creation, modification, type mutation, destruction, ... and thresholds creation. Table rows can be sorted in increasing or decreasing order by clicking on column titles. The current configuration (modules, tables and viewers geometry, ...) can be saved in a file at any time, and later reused through a command line switch, thus achieving a dashboard functionality. The module code is the link between the moodss core and the data to be displayed. All the specific code is kept in the module package. Since module data access is entirely customizable (through C code, Tcl, Perl, Python, HTTP, ...) and since several modules can be loaded at once, applications for moodss become limitless. For example, thoroughly monitor a dynamic web server on a single dashboard with graphs, using the Apache, MySQL, cpustats, memstats, ... modules. If you have replicated servers, dynamically add them to your view, even load the snmp module on the fly and let your imagination take over... Along with a core trace module, random, ps, cpustats, memstats, diskstats, mounts, route, arp, kernmods, netdev, pci, system, MySQL (myquery, mystatus, myprocs, myvars) modules for Linux, ping, snmp and snmptrap for UNIX, apache and apachex modules are included (running "wish moodss ps cpustats memstats" mimics the "top" application with a graphic edge and remote monitoring capability). Thorough help is provided through menus, widget tips, a message area, a module help window and a global help window with a complete HTML documentation. Moodss is multi-langual thanks to Tcl internationalization capabilities. So far only English and partially French are supported. Help with other languages will be very warmly welcomed. Development of moodss is continuing and as more features are added in future versions, backward module code compatibility will be maintained. I cannot thank the authors of the tkTable, BLT, MIME/SMTP and the HTML libraries enough for their great work. In order to run moodss, you need to install the following packages (unless you can use the rpm utility, see below): Tcl/Tk 8.3.1 or above, at (or at a mirror near you) http://dev.scriptics.com/ or ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/ the latest tkTable widget library at: http://www.hobbs.wservice.com/tcl/main.html the latest BLT library at: ftp://tcltk.sourceforge.net/pub/tcltk/blt/ eventually the latest tclperl library for writing modules in Perl, or the latest tclpython library for writing modules in Python at: http://jfontain.free.fr/ (see the INSTALL file for complete instructions, for UNIX and also Windows platforms). You also have the option of using the moodss rpm file (also in my homepage), if you are using a Redhat Linux system (6.0 or above). You can find the required tcl, tk, tktable, blt, tcpperl and other rpms at: http://jfontain.free.fr/ Whether you like it (or hate it), please let me know. I would like to hear about bugs and improvements you would like to see. I will correct the bugs quickly, especially if you send me a test script (module code with a data trace would be best). ### you may find it now at my homepage: http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss-14.5.tar.bz2 http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss-14.5-1.i386.rpm http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss-14.5-1.spec Enjoy and please let me know what you think. -- Jean-Luc Fontaine --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <mysql-unsubscribe-##L=##[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
