Customized Action Bar

+The Action Bar of the Host and Service Status Displays (see the +User Guide for more details) can be customized +with the $WWW_ACTIONBAR_CUSTOM + configuration parameter. Any HTML code defined in this parameter +will be included on the end of the Action Bars. + +

This parameter is preprocessed +with eval before the contents are printed. This allows you to +include complex perl variables or perl code. Because of the eval you +should use single quotes to enclose the contents of this parameter. This +will prevent premature evaluation of perl variables before the preprocessing. + +

If your do not need this customization, just leave +$WWW_ACTIONBAR_CUSTOM undefined. Nothing will be added to the Action Bars. + +

-Spong v1.1 - Todo List

-

-

-Here are the features/changes that I want to make to spong.  They are in no

-particular order, but I will probably be working on the things at the top of

-this list before I get to the ones on the bottom.  If you have any suggestions

-or comments, send email to ed-hill@uiowa.edu.  I have no specific time

-schedule in mind for implementing this list.  Spong is now a night-time

-project, so I get to this things when I can.

-

-I have put *'s next to the items that I am currently working on - or have

-completed in cased you are curious about my progress.


-

-


-(*) Rework some of the design of spong to make things more object oriented.

-The first version of spong was basically a port of BB, version 2.0 will be

-different.  This will allow me to more easily integrate new features over time.

-

-
(*) Add nfs (and other rpc based services) to spong-network (using the

-rpcinfo command).

-

-
Client support (spong-client) for NT

-
Server support (spong-server, spong-network, spong-display) support for NT

-

-
(*) Provide different interfaces (currently only web - provide a PerlTk,

-and a terminal based interface).

-

-
Provide the ability to view spong information (run the spong, tkspong, and

-wwwspong (currently known as spong-display) programs from machines other then

-the spong server).

-

-
(*) Redo the web based spong-display to make it more extensible

-

-Allow people to easily put the spong-server CGI program in /cgi-bin/

-
Allow people to easily define their own interfaces

-
Allow people to easily include parts of spong-display.cgi output in

-other pages

-
Allow for multiple views (table, network diagram, simple host summary

-with drill down for more specific information)

-
Handle groups better.

-

-

-

-
Provide a rules based solution to sending pages - this will allow people to

-specify whatever rules they want for sending pages when there are problems.

-

-
(*) Add acknowledgements - so that you can say that you know a service is

-red - and that you don't want paged about it.  You can also add some text so

-that others reading spong can have an idea what the problem is, and know

-someone is working on it.

-

-
Make spong-network more parallel, have it perform checks from a pool of

-children, that way if a system can not be pinged - it will not slow up the rest

-of the checks.

-

-
Make spong-network check more often on hosts that do not respond on the

-first try

-

-
Optimize the communication between client and server - by pipelining

-reports through a single channel and perhaps compressing the data before

-sending it.

-

-
Fix the log file checking - make it smarter.

-

-
Make it so that you can click on a host and find out status, history, 

-configuration (inventory), and statistics. (starting to branch out).

-

-Integrate my gstats (statistics collection) program. "spong-stats"

-
Add an inventory/configuration module. "spong-config"
