[Linux-ha-dev] Announcing release 0.1.0 of the Assimilation Monitoring Project!

[Alan Robertson]

Hi all,

This announcement is likely to be of interest to people like you who are
concerned about availability.

I founded the Linux-HA project in 1998 and led it for nearly 10 years.
Back in about November 2010, I announced the beginnings of what would
become the Assimilation Monitoring Project on this mailing list.

The Assimilation Monitoring project [http://assimmon.org
<http://assimmon.org/>] is a new open source monitoring project with a
revolutionary architecture. It provides highly scalable [~*/O/*(1)]
monitoring driven by integrated continuous Stealth Discovery(TM).

This first release is intended as a proof of concept, to demonstrate the
architecture, get feedback, add early adopters, and grow the community.

The project has basically two thrusts:

* It provides /extremely/ scalable exception monitoring (100K servers
-- no problem)
* It discovers all the details of your infrastructure (servers,
services, dependencies, switches, switch port connections, etc.),
builds a Neo4j graph database of all the gory details and updates it
as things change - without setting off network security alarms.
* The two functions are integrated in a way that will permit much
easier configuration than traditional systems, and support the
creation of simple audits to see if everything is being monitored.

Hi all,

Hi Alan!

Good to see progress on this Project.

Did you know about "NeDi" www.nedi.ch ?

I put Remo Rickli on Cc; aparently NeDi prefers "forum" over "mailing list".

Nedi has a few years head start, and a different focus maybe.
But as both projects seem to have a lot in common at least for the
discovery part, you still should be able to find some potential
synergies, or at least productively cooperate.

Cheers,
Lars

I ran across it while doing some research. As you said, it's a
different focus - but related.

Thanks for the heads-up!
