[Vsmon-users] vsmon 0.5 released

[Guillaume P. <gui...@re...>]

I just completed the documentation and the packaging for vsmon-0.5. M=
any=20
great new features were added in this release :


      Frontend

    * Front page is now a summary of all hosts in the parc. Detailed
      informations for each host is accessible by clicking on host na=
mes.
    * Front page has a search field for vserver or host names.
          o Added red highlight on swap >=3D 50% and load >=3D 2.
    * Ability to assign an owner to each vserver.
    * Shows disk usage information.
    * No longer show IP adresses.


      Backend

    * Disk usage information.
    * (optimisation) Added a query that returns host info without the
      vservers info.
    * Made backend work even if there is no support for vserver.
    * No longer obtain IP addresses. Removed libdnet dependancy.
    * Made the parsing of /proc/<pid>/stat work for kernel 2.6.18.
    * Can be used on hosts without Linux-VServers.


      Nagios plugin

    * New in version 0.5. Enable to use the vsmon backend to monitor =
an
      host disk, memory and swap. The plugin monitors ALL mount point
      according to an "intelligent" algorithm, which determines warni=
ng
      and critical thresold in function of the total size of the
      partition. More details here

_plugin>.



      Upgrade instructions

Table structure for the frontend changed a lot. Since the vsmon user=
=20
base is not very large yet, and the only data stocked in version 0.4 =
are=20
the hosts to contact, no upgrading script for the tables is provided.=
=20
Please drop the database follow instructions for a new installation t=
o=20
recreate the necessary tables.

Note that future versions _will_ provide an upgrade path for the data=
.

You will also need to diff your current configuration file=20
(/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/vsmon/settings.py) with the new one=
 in=20
order to incorporate the changes. You should use the new version and=

change the header of the file to fill the necessary informations for =

database connection.
