Projects
libstatgrab
libstatgrab is a library and tool set for acquiring system statistics from the operating system. An API is provided for other applications to easily accesses a variety of system statistics, including, amongst other things, CPU usage, VM usage, disk statistics, and network interface usage.
A handful of tools are also provided to make this information more readily available to users. A curses based tool gives users a "top like" view of the current state of their system, and a "sysctl like" tool gives easy access to the statistics for other applications that can't easily used the C API.
Finally scripts are provided to quickly setup MRTG to use libstatgrab for generating graphs of the available statistics.
pystatgrab
pystatgrab is a set of Python bindings for the libstatgrab library. It provides a set of function calls identical to those of libstatgrab, and returns data in structures that logically map on to those of libstatgrab.
Laroona
Laroona is the new central monitoring system. It's still very much in the early stages of development, and doesn't have any code available for download yet. Look at the project page for more on the development process.
CMS - Central Monitoring System
i-scream originally started out with just the CMS (Central Monitoring System) project. Since then it's moved on to have other related projects, as well as the CMS.
The CMS is no longer being developed. We are now putting our time into a new project redeveloping the CMS. We're taking the good ideas from the old CMS, improving some of the weaknesses, and we'll hopefully produce are far superior product.
