Hi, I was reading the project ideas page for GSoC 2012. Site Status page sounded very enjoyable to me. I am working as a system administrator at university IT department and still continuing my Ph.D on computer engineering. This project can be very usable also for me.
I was thinking how can i implement it and got some questions in my mind. I checked the status pages of the mentioned sites. They mainly give the uptime and service status. They look (esp Twitter and 37Signals) like blog sites. Except from the service status and uptime information, Site Status aims to give information about the link status also. It is also mentioned that system must be able to monitor other services, possible to write plugins. The first question is, whether this project requires both client and server side development. It is possible to get uptime and service status either by running a service at the server side or sending some packets from outside world. So should the project be designed as a web site that will accept domain name registrations and check them automatically without running anything at the machine(s) hosting these sites? The project explainations include two musts. One is appengine (or anyother cloud platform) and the other one is Network Administrator integration. I haven't got experienced with appengine but know some basics about it. Though, I have experince with Django. I dont know much about other cloud services. Can it be a good start, developing using appengine. Network Administrator integration will required a bit its source code checking. I haven't done it yet but will try installing it soon from the git repo https://github.com/amixpal/network-admin Cheers. -- Oguz Yarimtepe <[email protected]> http://about.me/oguzy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Umit-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/umit-devel
