Paper Abstract:
|
Monitoring systems are an essential element in the management of information systems. However, in the context of Open
Source, existent monitoring systems have not yet obtained the necessary level of maturity and professionalism. In this
paper, the limitations of the current tools are analyzed, and a new architecture is developed, which in our opinion resolve
the principal existing problems. The system which is presented incorporates important improvements, such as a
centralized configuration via web, support for monitoring templates, a hierarchical structure of objects in which its design
or flexibility is based, and support for centralized and distributed monitoring schemes. Its extension system, based on
plug-ins, is especially innovative for its power and simplicity. Finally, this article studies its use in an authentic
environment, which makes it possible to verify the importance of the improvements that have been developed. |
