Spumoni 1.4

Spumoni enables any program which can be queried via local commands to be health-checked via SNMP. This allows admins to use enterprise-level monitoring programs such as OpenNMS, Tivoli, OpenView, MRTG and RRDTool for even non-SNMP-enabled applications.
Spumoni acheives this efficiently using a native SNMP engine coupled with a stats collection daemon. Everything is highly configurable using modular XML files. Because of this modularity, the Spumoni project also contains a repository of configuration files to make monitoring various programs easier. A complete list of config files is available in the distribution package.
Main features:
- 100% Java means it can run on almost any platform.
- Licensed under the GPL. Special licensing also available.
- Low run-time utilization (only slightly more than your stats collection programs).
- Tested on Linux and Windows 2000.
- Uses a built-in SNMP daemon, so Net-SNMP is no longer needed.
- Includes an example MRTG front-end and a collection of monitoring config files to get you started.
Enhancements:
- Native SNMP TRAP and GET (agent) capability, thanks to JoeSNMP and Bob Sniders prototype code. This means that Net-SNMP, cfget and cfcat are no longer needed, so Spumoni runs just fine on Windows. Should make it more compatable on other platforms too.
- Added init.d-style startup script
- Added Windows batch file to run Spumoni
- Lots of code style standardization (thanks Checkstyle!)
- Tightened the XML DTDs
- Added CHANGELOG (this file)
- Added HTMLized source code to docs
- Added JUnit and Checkstyle Ant tasks
- Added JUnit and Checkstyle output to docs
- Greatly improved JavaDoc
- Improved build and versioning process
- Improved documentation & web site links
