GEMs Master (web pages) Version 1.2 Set SYNC and GENTOO_MIRRORS when registering endpoint (endpoint edits make.conf for you) Improved deleting of Alerts (can now delete all, or all of one type) Less socket output in logs More logging for other functions Much improved "Send file to endpoint" support. Can set owner, group, and permissions Upload/Delete files through the send file page Endpoint locking/wait queue If an endpoint currently has a distribution going, the next job will get put in a wait queue Cron job is setup to run every minute. Checks queue, runs job when endpoint is free View wait queue on Monitor Deployments page Clean stuck "queued" deployments out of Active Deployments Now using PEAR::MDB2 for database abstraction. Currently support MySql and PostgreSQL Included total number of CPUs in endpoint hardware info Run shell commands on endpoint from webpage (non-interactive commands only!) New GEMs logo, and sourceforge.net logo on login page About/Credits page Option in config.php to set the master's ip or hostname that is sent to the endpoints when registering (This is useful for master server's with 2 NICs, or public web interfaces) Inv_seach.php now uses GET instead of POST, for easier refresh, and so search links can be emailed etc. New Monitoring Console Shows memory usage, 1m, 5m, and 15m load, and % CPU usage on all your endpoints gmond runs on your clients (gemsd not required) Sends data up to GEMs server GEMs server creates rrd databases, and generates graphs from them using RRDtool Displays data in a 1 hour window graph Fix glsa_update.php script to not output all the inserts GEMs Endpoint (daemon) Version 1.1 Support for advanced file copy from master Support for adding SYNC and GENTOO_MIRRORS to make.conf Support for running shell commands from master Tested on PHP 5 Changed gemds init script to have --background option

After a long wait, and a lot of work, Gentoo Enterprise Management System now has a new release. This release has new features, and bug fixes. High lights include: -Support for Postgres (now using MDB2 for database abstraction) -New monitoring console -Run commands on endpoints from web page -Send files, set owner and permissions For more information, visit http://www.gamehound.net/gems/
gmond - GEMs Monitoring Agent Version 1.0_Alpha Initial Release Written in Perl Requires Curl Collects Memory, Load, and CPU usage stats from /proc and top Sends data to GEMs master (v1.2 or newer) GEMs master puts data in RRD's (round robin databases using rrdtool)
I'm finishing up development on the next version of GEMS master and daemon. Here are some new features to look forward to: -Postgres Support! -Send file function (send a file to endpoints) -Run command function (run commands on endpoints) -Set SYNC= and GENTOO_MIRRORS= in make.conf when an endpoint is registered -"All" option when sending to endpoints (so you don't have to manually key them all in) -Possibly more to come! Thanks to everyone who is using GEMS!
