SmokePing 3.x ============= SmokePing is a monitoring system, specialized in end-to-end measurements. Instead of asking a 3rd system for performance data and logging the answer, SmokePing exectutes its own probes. Plug-ins provide support for a wide variety of measurements. The master-slave architecture allows several SmokePing instances to get their configuration form one central point. Slave instances may sit behind fire-walls since the only requirement is that they can reach the master server over a http(s) link to get configuration instructions and return measurement data. SmokePing's focus is on running probes and raising alerts. It provides access to the fruits of its toil via a REST interface. Data Visualisation ------------------ SmokePing is supported by the Extopus frontend. Extopus can integrate data from several monitoring systems in a single coherent GUI. See www.extopus.org for more information. Status ------ 2013-09-04 No real code yet, only infrastructure and documentation.
