It also optionally reports idle times for the nodes it manages. It uses complex 'idle', so it should be created beforehand. Of course, the sensor should be configured to run on a master node only.
This does look better than the system service, thanks for the idea. The system service version is available under system_service branch. -- Cheers, Denis
