The Medusa monitor allows you to connect to a running Zope Server and get a Python interpreter in this context. With it, you can (in principle) analyse your Zope system. However, this way of debugging is probably only for experts. There is a document at zope.org (I forgot its name) that says a bit about this "monitor": search for "monitor".

Re: [Zope] Medusa Monitor
I know that, the stupid log file thingy. But you'll have to write an independent thread to display the log file (or peek the file manually each time), or implement some CString stuff to capture the file output (if that is possible). It'll be more fun if all this is already done, and the user can just tap into the monitor console screen (even remotely). A good monitor should actually display hit information, memory usage, etc, and preferably with charts, all in real time. Too much to ask?

Re: [Zope] Medusa Monitor
Thanks for the follow-ups on Medusa Monitor. But as I can see (after using Zope for 1.5 years, now), few people actually use it. Unless one is really into the guts of Zope itself, the monitor is pretty useless for debugging. It of course could be made more useful, but one must implement some Python programs first. Even for dynamic reloading of modules, I usually just write External methods to do the job, instead of firing up the monitor. A more useful debuging tool would be some monitor where you can receive print message logs in real time. That would be great, especially if you have multiple thread problems. regards, Hung Jung _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Re: [Zope] Medusa Monitor
Use it for debugging sometimes. Is very easy to use. Basically import Zope z = Zope.app() then z is the root of your zope tree so you can do anything. You will need to import any other python modules you need too. terry Hung Jung Lu wrote: > Hi, > > Zope comes with the Medusa monitor (port 8099 by default) which is kind of > cute and allows one to get into the guts of Zope.
