[ANNOUNCE] Enterprise Control Configuration Logging/Alerting prerelease ...

[Richard Frith-Macdonald]

The package I presented on at FOSDEM this year is now available in the GNUstep 
subversion repository.

What is ECCL?
==================
The ECCL package is a small set of tools and a library containing Objective-C 
classes designed to
provide a scalable infrastructure for management/operation of a cluster of 
server process operating
on a high availability 24x7 basis.

The library provides centralised control and configuration of multiple server 
processes running on
many machines on the LAN (a loosely coupled cluster).  It also supports logging 
and archiving and,
importantly alarming/alerting about problems (including integration into SNMP 
using industry
standard alarming).

The Tools consist of, a per-cluster daemon (Control) and a per-host daemon 
(Command) used to control
individual processes, as well as an interactive command-line utility (Console) 
used to manage running
processes.

The FOSDEM talks are at http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/FOSDEM_2012

This initial pre-release is fully functional, but documentation is minimal and 
the SNMP MIB lacks a
Private Enterprise Number (unique ID for the MIB) ... but I have applied to 
IANA for a PEN for
GNUstep, and plan to make a formal release of the software once that has been 
allocated.
