Hey folks, I figured I'll start with a proper introduction :)
I work for a french company named Avencall. We are considering using shinken as a monitoring platform for the appliances we sell to our customers (XiVO: see here -> http://www.avencall.com. It's all in french, sorry about that). We'll also be using shinken to monitor our servers internally (around 25 machines with loads of services). <personnal opinion> The alternative for customer monitoring would be nagios+centreon, but honestly, if we can avoid such a mess I'd be grateful ;) </personnal opinion> I've been testing out version 0.4 extensively. So far things look promising, even though I found quite a few bugs already. I'd like to see those bugs addressed, and I'd be glad to help you out with that. So far I haven't seen any of those bugs opened on the bug tracker. I'll give you a quick list here. Just tell me which one is worth opening and I'll be happy to do so. - Arbiter uses 100% of the CPU. if this has gone unnoticed, it could be something in my configuration - I get a lot of reactionner crashes (I just managed to get a proper backtrace of this). It looks like a race condition, but I can't be sure since I haven't really look at the code yet. - The merlin module seems to lack a few features. Lots of fields in the tables of the merlin db seem to contain only NULL as a value. The thing that got me to notice this is ninja which displays "Notifications are disabled" and "Service Checks are disabled" on top of each page. Looking at ninja's code, it seems to be because even if they are both enabled in my shinken configuration, the fields notifications_enabled and active_service_checks_enabled are both NULL (like nearly all the fields in this table). I guess this would be a feature request. - Other feature request, also related but not limited to ninja support. It would be useful to have a possibility to configure the timestamp format in the simple_log module configuration. A Python timeformat string would be just perfect and probably very simple to implement. I could work on that if you give me the right pointers in the code. Honestly, a regular unix timestamp is just inconvenient :) And one last thing. Congrats on your good work so far. Free software monitoring had been needing some fresh air for quite a few years :) Regards, -- Marc-Olivier Barre Avencall 10 bis, rue Lucien Voilin - 92800 Puteaux Tél. : 0811 85 9486 (0811 85 XIVO) http://www.avencall.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
