Moodss is a modular GUI application that can monitor systems, networks, and databases. It displays data in graphical viewers, sends emails and execute scripts on thresholds, archive data in a SQL database, and includes a daemon for background monitoring. Around 100 modules (counting Nagios plugins) are available.

In this release, the ability to edit thresholds per page was added in order to easily manage large quantities of thresholds, the email library was patched to ensure that messages data sections are properly terminated. The usual minor improvements and bug fixes were also made.

By finding the best of powerful statistical models, using sophisticated methods such as ARIMA and artificial neural networks, moodss can now predict the future behavior of data cells, from their history recorded in a SQL database. The new predictor tool, obviously ideal for capacity planning, will also allow, in upcoming releases, a system administrator to receive emails such as "on server foo.bar.com, the disk sdb is likely to become full in 3 weeks".

### CHANGES ###

- in moodss GUI:
- added a new viewer type: iconic, which allows associating a data
cell with an icon (GIF file chosen by the user), whose background
color changes according to threshold setting on the data cell
(will become even more useful when it is possible to use
background images, such as maps, in dashboards)
- icons (minimized tables) are now strictly restricted to canvas
area when moved, and can now reside in pages other than the first
- tables and viewers are now strictly restricted to canvas area when
moved
- icons (minimized tables) can now be dropped in other pages (via
page tags)
- when moving icons (minimized tables), coordinates are displayed in
message area
- in about dialog box, added license for KDE Crystal theme icons
- minimized tables are now restored properly, even in a page other
than the first, from a dashboard file
- default sizing mode is now automatic
- when main window is resized, scroll bars are adjusted so that all
tables, viewers and icons remain reachable
- when main window width was greatly reduced, message header text
could disappear
- in help and about dialog boxes, use a white background
- in distribution, included Japanese documentation for moomps
- included Japanese HTML documentation in Windows zip distribution
- the Japanese help and HTML documentations were improved
- updated myvars module for MySQL 4.0.20 support
- sources and project management now hosted at SourceForge
(http://sourceforge.net/project/moodss/), to benefit from the great
bugs, patches, ... and other tracking systems and utilities
