The IDE for ITTVIS's IDL (aka IDLDE) works very poorly on Linux, and besides, it wasn't open-source enough! So I made a Qt-based editor in Python that works reasonably well. It calls IDL library functions directly and embeds it in the graphical interface just like the original IDE. It was not easy to get that working at all, so expect bugs.
It provides instant help by pressing the F1 key and auto-completion by pressing Ctrl+Space and a bunch of other stuff. Pretty much everything is documented in the README file.

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
