[cola:10232] OpenSMART 0.4 released


Hi,

OpenSMART 0.4 (The Open (System|Source) Monitoring and Reporting Tool)
is released.

OpenSMART is a monitoring (and reporting)
environment for servers and applications in a network.

Main Features are:
- Nice Webfrontend (browser independent)
- for the OpenSMART server: very few dependencies apart from a perl
  installation
- for the OpenSMART clients (these are your monitored servers): 
  just a perl installation is needed (no extra perl packages, no C-Compiler)
- installation is done in no more than 5 minutes
- it's easy to write more checks
- XML configuration for the clients (what to check)
- OpenSMART's main target is application monitoring
- Supported Platforms: Linux, HP/UX, Solaris, *BSD, AIX, 
  Windows (only as client)
- good documentation
- Database backend (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle are supported)
- GPL
- Demo-Installation at sourceforge.net available.
- you can monitor an oracle database without DBI - Installation (in
  fact: You need just your oracle installation and a standard perl and
  the OpenSMART client)
- scripts for error notification by email are included. You can easily
  write your own notification scripts (in any language you want)

For download and demo, see
