Hi

Dime (Distributed Monitoring Environment) version 0.2 is out at

http://dime.rubyforge.org

Dime is a real-time service monitor that tests a number of services on a set
of hosts and reports failures on those tests to the network administrator.
These reports can be configured to be sent as on-screen messages at the
network administrator’s workstation (using ruby-libxosd2), or as an email
message.

New features on version 0.2:

  • Alert messages can now be sent by email. This allows dime to be configured
    on a non-distributed setup, if ``email’’ is the only notification method
    selected;

  • Service-specific checks were added for HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP. If
    a different service is configured, dime will use the old generic check;

  • The alert notifications are a bit more admin-friendly;

  • Dime now uses Nathaniel Talbott’s DRbFire DRb protocol, so that it can
    be used on firewalled setups.

Best regards,
Andre

I’d just like to mention that dime 0.2.1 was released to fix bugs on the
install.rb script, which wasn’t installing the default configuration
files. The fix was also commited to the DIME_0_2 CVS branch.

The people who have downloaded version 0.2 can download just the new
install.rb[1] and re-run it.

Best regards,
Andre
