Karma - Future Development
There are already plans to expand on the functionality present in Karma.
Here's a list of some of the things I'm working on for a future release.
- o lynx browser support (no frames, no tables?)
-
- o configuration check tool (reads karma.conf file)
-
- o web interface
-
- o help page for adding new services
-
- o more services monitored
-
- - hitratios dictcache, rowcache
-
- - listener log monitor
-
- - trace/core file monitor
-
- - monitor sqlnet performance
-
- - archive dest directory
-
- - backup success
-
- - buffer busy waits
-
- - locks
-
- o karma.conf
-
- - specify frames/no frames/no tables support
-
- - specify no html pages generated, text only
-
- - vertical/horizontal arrangement option
-
- o whom to contact messages
-
- o look at adding graphing support http://www.munitions.com/~jra/cricket/
-
- o resetting services, once you've seen them, turn back to green
(not sure if this fits into the non-CGI thinking so far...)
-
- o 7.x issues
-
- - no autoextend column
-
- - first_time column in v$log is varchar2 (date in 8.x
-
- o info pages include warning, alert values
-
- o NT issues
-
- - signal handling
-
- - named pipe
-
- o notify full includes url to info page this will require a new line
in the config file like SERVER:http://www.something.com/karma onto
which the rest can be appended
-
- o simplifying code by using views in "karma" schema
(tremendous code simplification, maintenance easier, adding
services easier, hides 7.x, 8.x issues)
-
- o Duncan's redolog monitoring ideas
-
- o reorganize code (OOP)
-
- o mySQL, other db modules
-
- o past 1 or 2 days worth of log data (with link and info page)
-
- o log statuses over time, use cricket for graphing
-
- o table only data which we can include in another html page
