Usually when I do that I do a last minute commit of some really evil code and have to rush out my .1 and .2 releases in the next few hours/days. I didn't quite want to do that yet ;-) So, here it is. It includes primarily snmp related fixes and debugging. It mostly fixes the autodetection of SNMP on most platforms but there are also a few minor snmp fixes/changes. See the changelog for more information.

I've always intended for sysmon to have some client/server interaction, and have implemented part of what I think is necessary for this to happen.. read on if you are interested in writing a GUI client application (Windows, MacOS X, XWindows, Java, etc..) So, the thought is to have some client applications for a few different OS'es that gets notified when an object state changes, and can provide sorting, etc.. as necessary in the GUI, and obtain outage details/history of an object (once i log that in detail inside sysmon). Basically, you 'subscribe' via (MODE outagelog) to get notified, you need to send a command (eg: NOOP) at least every 300 seconds, otherwise you'll get booted for inactivity... you can then get the details for objects to be displayed in the GUI via "SHOWOBJ" of the name that is displayed. Obviously you can see that I need to clean up a bit of the code for the snmp data that gets dumped, and probally suppress some irrelevant parts of the dump.. Anyways, if you are interested, let me know, I will be posting the source for this beta version of sysmon later today at ftp://puck.nether.net/pub/jared/beta/ - Jared mobile:~% telnet localhost 1345 Trying 127.0.0.1...

Here is sysmon-0.93-pre2, an attempt at a release canidate for sysmon. There have been a few changes to some of the subsystem involved so I wanted to give everyone else a shot at testing it out. Important changes/Fixes/things of note: * fix textfile display to properly account for dependencies [1] * reduce excessive cpu usage watching wall clock * hrmph, qsort fix maybe? * stab at fix for timing issue with needssleep() (should reduce cpu usage) So, those are the notes in the Changelog, but the real important note for most people is this release should reduce cpu usage by about 50% for sysmon (maybe higher in some cases). At least that was the result in my setup, but I sighup hourly with a large series of config files, which requires a lot of time spent in the parser. [1] Changes the way objects are shown in the html file, in some cases somewhat significantly for users. I want some feedback on this. It should supress some alerts, but may not do what you expect. I may make the "old" way configurable as well. hope everyone still enjoys sysmon :) - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
