Python Monitoring Server

Currently under active development. It aims to be a generic solution for logging events and creating aggregate reports.

Installing Development Environment

git clone git://github.com/philipcristiano/pms.git

cd pms

make bootstrap && make deploy

Deploying PMS

PMS can be deployed as a WSGI app. Once installed the app is available as pms.app:app and can be run with gunicorn or a WSGI server of your choice.

Configuration

PMS will look for a config file at /etc/pms/pms.conf

You config file would look something like this:

[mongodb] host=33.33.33.10

[aggregation]

[[host-level]]

properties=host,level

[[random]]

properties=level

You need to define a host for Mongo.

The aggregration properties are to define the rollups. The second level is the name of the rollup and properties is a list of fields to rollup. PMS will attempt to rollup any events added. The event will be rolled up if it has properties matching the set defined for a rollup.

Recording Events

Events are recorded by posting a JSON document to /record. If you include all fields for an aggregate rollup it will create/update the corresponding record.

Sample:

curl -v -X POST http://localhost/record -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key": "value"}'
