Spong - Todo List
Here are the features/changes that I and others want to make to spong. They
are in no particular order, If you have any suggestions or comments, send
email to sjohnson@monsters.org.
- Make web interface more configurable: (user selectable backgroup colors/
method, table shading scheme)
- Add option to use style sheets on Web Interface.
- Client support (spong-client) for NT
- Server support (spong-server, spong-network, spong-display) support for NT
- Make spong-network more parallel, have it perform checks from a pool of
children, that way if a system can not be pinged - it will not slow up the rest
of the checks.
- Make spong-network check more often on hosts that do not respond on the
first try
- Add some limited event correlation to spong-network to not report service
problems is a parent router/swith is unreachable.
- Optimize the communication between client and server - by pipelining
reports through a single channel and perhaps compressing the data before
sending it.
- Make it so that you can click on a host and find out status, history,
configuration (inventory), and statistics. (starting to branch out).
- Integrate gstats (statistics collection) program. "spong-stats" (Ed Hill)
- Add an inventory/configuration module. "spong-config"
- Continue modularizing to move towards Object Oriented as much as possible.
- Add control ports to spong-client,spong-network, and spong-server to
ultimately allow the programs to be control and configured remotely
- Add stats package to record and display status update inforation in
RRD Tool databases. "spong-rrd"
