Hi, Our experiment has need for a pseudo real-time (prompt) networked alarm collection and display system. Before just diving in and writing something I thought I'd best try to see if anything is out there and Twisted certainly seems a fertile enough framework to have had at least one such system sprouted already. What we have is several, independent processes all of which can raise problems of varying degrees of severity. Most of the alarm producers are written in differing languages and frameworks and are scattered over different computers (some in different states). We want to centralize these alarms and then serve them to one or more consumers. Ideally alarms are "pushed" to consumers rather than needing to poll so as to minimize latency between production and consumption. But, because some consumers will be behind firewalls the consumers should initiate the connection. Anything already fit this bill or come close? If we do end up rolling our own, any suggestions to get us started in the right direction? Thanks, -Brett.
