I'm pleased to conversations with the principal folks that Hyperic/VMW and Pivotal are interested in passing along the mod_bmx codebase to the httpd project, if we will have it.
https://github.com/hyperic/mod_bmx Scoped by the Hyperic team to represent mod_status info in a flexible and extensible bean-registry of items, which are reported over http in a json-parsable format, and replaced the need for mod_snmp, it also extends status insight into specific vhost activity, although this measurement requires locking which may be too painful for some admins. Written initially by out own Aaron Bannert contracting to Hyperic, it has been maintained by Ryan Morgan and myself, along with other odd patches, including recent fixes by Maxime Beck and folks on jfclere's team. Since we are already spanning vendors, httpd seems like the perfect commons space to further build on this work. I have a champion to shepard code grant paperwork through VMW/Hyperic/Pivotal signatories, if we choose to accepting the donation. There seem to be two paths for us to accept this donation, so I'll put this out as a three choice answer; [ ] Accept mod_bmx into the httpd project as a module sub-project [ ] Accept mod_bmx into the httpd trunk (for possible backport consideration) [ ] Decline mod_bmx donation Votes? Please feel free to switch the Subject: line to launch into side-discussions about the source code, all inquiries are welcome.
