Objet: [Shinken-devel] Winter is close, it's time to freeze :D
Hi every one, long time no see :)
As some should already see, the freeze mode just start in github tickets. There
are already some months since the 1.4 version already, and we get some real
good things inside the current master branch.
The main part is the "module" splitting. It's quite simple in fact : modules
are no more delivered inside the python shinken directory, but in another
directory. It's basically just a simple "mv".
But it allow far more than just this. If you got a module that is NOT in the
repo, you know that before you got to recopy your module directory at each
update. It's no more need. Modules are now independent from the shinken
framework, the main daemons.
It's the same for packs. People where really lost about all that was add "by
default" in the Shinken installation. I though it can be a great thing to have
a "ready to check" packs already installed, but when you got 49 of them (yes,
49, thanks to all of you to made all of theses packs reality! :) ) they didn't
even know they exists.
Now admins will be granted more flexibility. The http://shinken.io website is
strongly linked to this coming 2.0 release. It's really a " npmjs.org "-like
wdbsite. Even it's style is inspired from it (I'm bad in design, so a bsd like
style is a good think for me..) :D
Install a module or a pack will be as easier as:
$ shinken install pack-linux-snmp
This will allow us to reduce the install script size. It was a real nightmare
to manage it in the long run, and took us lot of time when we should focus on
monitoring capabilities. So it won't disappear, but we will remove things are
are twice from the shinken command, and we won't add new things there.
But this new pack/module structure is not the only good thing in this release.
We got a huge, really huge work from Christophe Simon, admin @Dalymotion about
bp_rule. We will explain it in another thread as there are so much good new
things there, but now you will be able to add elements in rules based on some
"tags" (named label) and got a better notification management for theses
bp_rule elements. That's a Shinken key feature that is now boosted, and we
should really thanks Christophe for his work there!
Now about the less good things, I was a bit "off" lately in this list (not on
the forum that I read everyday), and it's mainly due to the fact that starting
a company in France is a real nightmare (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
But now it start to be less painful and I'm even close to a first Enterprise
version. The main features of this version will be a WebUI under steroïds (lot
of enhancements will be backport in the 2.2 version that is focus on WebUI ;) )
and a configuration system.
It's not just a simple UI like skonf is, but a daemon based system that will
grap data from several sources (VMware, Active directory, or a CMDB) and then
merge them. This daemon is already working, now I'm working on the UI for look
at the merge results (and modify them if need). The first version of this
system will be enterprise only, but I hope we will be able to open it soon.
I can give a link to the demo if you want to get a look about theses new UIs :)
Ok, like always I wrote a lot. So one last question, are people interested into
a meetup about Shinken during the first trimester of 2014 in France? (can be in
Bordeaux or Paris). If you are in, let me know so we can start to organize this
:D
Now it's time to freeze and hunt for the last tickets in github. Let's try to
have a 2.0 version as Santa gift ;)
