Spumoni enables any program which can be queried via local commands to be health-checked via SNMP. This allows admins to use enterprise-level monitoring programs such as OpenNMS, Tivoli, OpenView, MRTG and RRDTool for even non-SNMP-enabled applications.
Spumoni acheives this efficiently using a native SNMP engine coupled with a stats collection daemon. Everything is highly configurable using modular XML files. Because of this modularity, the Spumoni project also contains a repository of configuration files to make monitoring various programs easier. A complete list of config files is available in the distribution package.
Here are some key features of "Spumoni":
· 100% Java means it can run on almost any platform.
· Licensed under the GPL. Special licensing also available.
· Low run-time utilization (only slightly more than your stats collection programs).
· Tested on Linux and Windows 2000.
· Uses a built-in SNMP daemon, so Net-SNMP is no longer needed.
· Includes an example MRTG front-end and a collection of monitoring config files to get you started.
What's New in This Release:
· Native SNMP TRAP and GET (agent) capability, thanks to JoeSNMP and Bob Snider's prototype code. This means that Net-SNMP, cfget and cfcat are no longer needed, so Spumoni runs just fine on Windows. Should make it more compatable on other platforms too.
· Added init.d-style startup script
· Added Windows batch file to run Spumoni
· Lots of code style standardization (thanks Checkstyle!)
· Tightened the XML DTDs
· Added CHANGELOG (this file)
· Added HTMLized source code to docs
· Added JUnit and Checkstyle Ant tasks
· Added JUnit and Checkstyle output to docs
· Greatly improved JavaDoc
· Improved build and versioning process
· Improved documentation & web site links
