This is a broad subject. Technology has never really been the issue of effectively monitoring an IT infrastructure. We've had the tools for over 20 years now and the problem has always been effective use of and implemenation of tools, It should start from the top with 4 things: a plan, a team/roles, the toolset, and processes to manage the infrastructure.

You raise the issue of non trivial methods so that suggests you're more interested in technical mechanisms. In this case it's best to ask something more specific. The best area I can point you to is this concept that is emerging and it's arguably steeped in virtualization. The concept is Reliability and Serviceabilty (RAS). Computation is becoming non-stop and this means that you can still compute and service the machine at the same time. Hardware reliability is well defined and there are predictive methods for handling this. In fact,every component, network, o/s... is well defined...so I don't really understand the "non-trivial" methods part. Whatever the specific, monitoring in general should support the emerging concept of RAS. Now that term has been mainly associated with hardware, but I think the concept extends to the entire infrastructure. I would be interested to hear more of what you have been working on and what you're targeting.

learning UNIX on a Windows 2000 machine?

What is the best way to learn UNIX, shell, and Perl on a Windows 2000 machine? My place of employment uses Solaris and Perl and I would like to learn some UNIX skills on my home PC. I read about "dual boots", "Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX", and "cygwin". What other free options are... (9 Replies)

new my $group = Munin::Master::Group->new($name, $parent); Constructor. $name is the name of the group. add_attributes $group->add_attributes(\%attrs); Sets attributes %attrs for the group. Valid attributes are: node_order Override the order of the hosts within the group. local_address The local address the update process should bind to when contacting the nodes in this group. contacts The contacts for this group. See http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/HowToContact <http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/HowToContact>. An exception will be thrown if invalid attributes are provided. (Full details here: http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/munin.conf#Groupleveldirectives <http://munin- monitoring.org/wiki/munin.conf#Groupleveldirectives>.) add_host $group->add_host($host); Adds host $host to the group. give_attributes_to_hosts $group->give_attributes_to_hosts(); Propagates the attributes of $group to all hosts in the group. (This does not apply to hosts belonging to sub-groups.) get_all_hosts my @hosts = $group->get_all_hosts(); Returns the list of all hosts associated with this group, including those belonging to any sub-groups. perl v5.14.2 2013-11-12 Munin::Master::Group(3pm)
