Hi,
With the OpenSMART 1.0 release, there were two annoying bugs so far:

1. swap-check doesn't work on hpux
2. (more annoying): missing servdoc in package.

Please download opensmart-agent 1.0.1 to fix this.

This is an agent-only release. We plan to release agent-only releases more
often than full releases, because of patches and new checks for the agent.

Finally, we have OpenSMART 1.0, the first stable version of OpenSMART released.

With this version, you can monitor your production data center as well as your home servers with many nifty features like
- easy to understand (and well documented) XML configuration
- nice and handy web GUI
- advanced features like commands for error correction or cluster aware monitoring.
- full documentation for your servers included through ServDoc.

OpenSMART 0.4 is released.
Many new checks and much faster frontend. Try it.

We're happy to release OpenSMART 0.3.
This is the first version we have in production use in our datacenter. Try it.

This is the 2nd release of OpenSMART, the Open (System|Source) Monitoring and Reporting Tool.

We have a complete backend, a complete and usable frontend and we have 13 real life server checkscripts.

OpenSMART 0.2 is usable in real environments.

The first version of OpenSMART, the Open (System|Source) Monitoring and Reporting Tool is released.

You can monitor many servers (and there you need just a perl installation) with a nice frontend. You can easily extend OpenSMART with your own checks if needed.
