[Spacewalk-devel] Large changes from dropping monitoring and solaris support
Hey everyone, In preparation for Spacewalk 2.3 I have merged the perl-removal branch into master, which (among other things) drops support for solaris and monitoring. This is a large change, involving the deletion of many database tables and obsoleting many packages. I will work to get master back into a stable state, but I fully expect that there will be things that are broken in the short-term. We need to work everything out now so that Spacewalk 2.3 is stable and functional. If you notice problems related to solaris or monitoring being mentioned in remaining pages, installers, tools, or problems related to upgrading schema or packages, please help fix them or point them out to me so that we can get everything stable for 2.3. Thanks! -Stephen ___ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel

Monitoring integrated somehow with the overview/alerts page. Will some infrastructure remain in place so that in the future some external monitoring system can be plugged in? We have a plugin that sends Spacewalk data - Nagios and it could make sense providing the reverse. Spacewalk would offer just a coord that can be plugged into some monitoring system with an adaptor and you would see some basic status of the systems registered in both inside Spacewalk. If there are ideas around it, it could enable our team to contribute to that. -- Duncan Mac-Vicar P. - http://www.suse.com/ SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany ___ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel

With that topic of integration around - I propose the vague idea of an interface to intersect system-status pages with something like Racktables or similar e.g. for location or rack-management. Just food for thought... Two thumbs up for the perl-removal, thought! Best -Jonathan -- Jonathan Hoser, M.Sc.

The infrastructure (tables, code) that was in place was pretty specific and tightly-coupled to Spacewalk's monitoring solution. I think that some form of integration with third-party monitoring is a great idea, but I think that support for that would have had to be written from scratch even if we were not removing Spacewalk's monitoring. But feel free to revert deletions of things that can be re-used with this new feature as you work on it. -Stephen ___ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
