Benson Distributed Monitoring System
The goal of the Benson Distributed Monitoring System project is to make a distributed monitoring system with the extensibility and flexibility of mod_perl. The end goal is for system administrators to be able to script up their own alerts and monitors into an extensible framework which hopefully lets them get sleep at night. The communication layer uses standard sockets, and the scripting language for the handlers is Perl. It includes command line utilities for sending, listing, and acknowledging traps, and starting up the benson system. There is also a Perl module interface to the benson network requests.

Changes: M90autoack has been added to the monitor directory to fix an abort core dump bug in trap.cc., M10diskmon is configurable for usage reporting by mount point, and Monitor.pm is documented (it respects different run intervals for different monitors). A 2 second sleep was added to bensonctl during CORBA boot strapping for bensond phase, M10diskmon was fixed so that it actually reports information, and basic copyright notices were added to most of the C++ source files. Monitor.pm only runs once a minute for monitor testing, and INSTALL.quick instructions were added.
