[Sguil-devel] FreeBSD Sguil ports

[Richard B. <tao...@gm...>]

Hi Paul,

You probably saw that Bamm released Sguil 0.7.0 today.

Since you maintain the three Sguil ports for FreeBSD, I was wondering
if you might consider the following.

Recently I've taken another look at David Bianco's InstantNSM project
(http://www.vorant.com/nsmwiki/InstantNSM).  InstantNSM has evolved
into more of a Sguil configuration and control system and less of an
installation mechanism.  Currently InstantNSM works well with CentOS
4.x and pretty well with CentOS 5.x (which I tried).

Theoretically InstantNSM would work with FreeBSD (and other BSDs).
Therefore, I'd like to see what you think of the following idea.

At least for the sguil-sensor and sguil-server FreeBSD ports, just
install the dependent packages/ports and the Sguil source code.  Don't
try to configure anything.  Let InstantNSM do that.  I think
sguil-client can continue as normal because InstantNSM is more about
sensors and servers.

What do you think?

Thank you,

Richard
