The long-awaited EDDIE version 0.30 has now been released. This is a major release and incorporates many significant changes to improve the configuration and extendability. It also incorporates new features such as remote HTTP/HTTPS monitoring and SNMP client support for monitoring devices with SNMP or storing SNMP information to RRD files, for example. The Elvin connection code has been totally re-written and is much more stable and reliable now. A fully updated User's Manual, as well as a Developer's Guide, are also now available. What is EDDIE? The EDDIE Tool is a system and network monitoring, security and performance analysis tool. It is very customizable and multi-platform. Currently Linux, Solaris and HP-UX are supported. Why is this of interest to the Python community? EDDIE has been written in 100% threaded Python. All system and network checks are written in native Python. Directive rules, which are written by the user to perform monitoring and checking tasks, take advantage of a localized Python environment and are evaluated by the Python interpreter itself. This allows for complex rules to be written with ease. Everything can be obtained from the usual place, http://eddie-tool.net/ Cheers CM -- Chris Miles chris@psychofx.com http://www.psychofx.com/chris/
