Briar Patch ----------- Metrics, alerts and events framework Using ZeroMQ on the inside, Briar Patch will be a way to allow multiple incoming data streams all be handled/filtered/massaged and then consumed by various workers as needed. Yea, I don't know what it will be quite yet either... Installation ------------ Briar-Patch is two distinct parts: the buildduty/kitten managment piece and the metrics piece. Pick what piece you are working with and follow those instructions below. My primary dev environment is OS X, so I use Brew almost exclusively, so all of the install notes below reference Brew. Brew can be found at http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ Except for Python, which I kept at v2.7, everything else is as fresh as you can stand. For the buildduty part, you need to install: pip install ssh pip install boto pip install requests pip install dnspython git clone git://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py.git cd redis-py python setup.py install cd .. For the metrics part, you need: Note: pyzmq will need the python development libraries loaded, gcc build environment and zeromq source tarball. This needs to be build and installed before installing pyzmq pip install requests pip install dnspython pip install pyzmq git clone git://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py.git cd redis-py python setup.py install cd .. hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/users/clegnitto_mozilla.com/mozillapulse cd mozillapulse python setup.py install cd ..
