metronome

About

metronome is Symphony bot designed to provide end to end diagnostic information to the Symphony Engineering Services team. This bot is fairly simple.

It logs into your symphony pod, and then joins a cross pod chat room and begins to send messages with some basic information about the pod environment.

Our ES bot listens in and adds information to our local trends database and can alert our team to any problems directly as needed.

Installation

this application can be installed as an rpm or from a python setup.py.
