Hi all,<br>
<br>
This announcement is likely to be of interest to people like you who
are concerned about availability.<br>
<br>
I founded the Linux-HA project (predecessor to Pacemaker) in 1998
and led it for nearly 10 years. Back in about November 2010, I
announced the beginnings of what would become the Assimilation
Monitoring Project.<br>
<br>
The Assimilation Monitoring project [<a href="http://assimmon.org/">http://assimmon.org</a>]
is a new open source monitoring project with a revolutionary
architecture. It provides highly scalable [~<b><i>O</i></b>(1)]
monitoring driven by integrated continuous Stealth Discovery(TM).<br>
<br>
This first release is intended as a proof of concept, to demonstrate
the architecture, get feedback, add early adopters, and grow the
community.<br>
<br>
The project has basically two thrusts:<br>
<ul>
<li>It provides <i>extremely</i> scalable exception monitoring
(100K servers -- no problem)<br>
</li>
<li>It discovers all the details of your infrastructure (servers,
services, dependencies, switches, switch port connections,
etc.), builds a Neo4j graph database of all the gory details and
updates it as things change - without setting off network
security alarms.</li>
<li>The two functions are integrated in a way that will permit
much easier configuration than traditional systems, and support
the creation of simple audits to see if everything is being
monitored.<br>
</li>
</ul>
