Marteen , <br><br>I certainly don't want to reinvent the wheel by building anything similar to nagios. <br><br>I want to build a small deployable framework without any web-interface or gui , which doesn't use any web server and should run without any manual intervention most of the time. It can also be regarded as an automation tool which will act on data collected after monitoring different hosts at regular intervals. Depending the state of the resource (host/server) task could be dynamically assigned to each of the available resources.<br>
<br>I think i wrongly stated my objective earlier, i should be dynamic resource allocation through net monitoring . <br><br>-Sid J <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 5:04 PM, Maarten ter Huurne <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:maarten@treewalker.org">maarten@treewalker.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>You could certainly write that with Twisted, but why not adopt an existing<br>
monitoring application like Nagios or Zenoss?<br>
