Title: SA Future Direction

The multi-threading we will work like this:

    if no entry depends on the entry and the entry itself is not depending on another entry that we will thread it (to start with "only" some check types like URL - PING - adding more).

 

You could get more checks per seconds/minute and the cycle time will be reduced but that doesn't mean that you would have more logging. The interval time (if you let that how it is) will still work in the same way.

Since everyone is weighing in, I have two add my two cents worth.

Multi-threading
It would be nice if SA ran a little faster, but be careful what you ask for.  We are currently running four checks per second.  If that number is significantly increased, I can foresee sizing problems with my database where I log the output, network bandwidth issues and server performance issues.

XML
I don’t care.  Always felt it was overrated.

Configuration Database
I think it is an excellent idea.  It would be a good first step to prepare for a remote administration tool. which I believe is extremely important.

Output Database
This is also an excellent idea.  Users could write their own reports, generate their own html, and if desired can produce their own XML.
