That sounds great! Monitoring of capture agents has so far been left out with the idea that there are professional solutions out there already, so I welcome the fact that you are investigating in this area. A script to compare the output of the capture agent's recording status with what's in the agent's icalendar file would be a great step towards overall robustness. > My questions: > Who is interested in this topic and want to share his experience/help to > develop more functions? ETH certainly is, our system administrator just finished setup of Nagios. I am sure he will be interested to see whether the scripts can (at least partly) be reused with Nagios. > Where could we put the Matterhorn specific enhancements? In SVN at > /docs/scipts/xymon ??? I would suggest /docs/scripts/monitoring/xymon, in order to be able to add subdirectories for other systems easily.
