application level monitoring for python

[Walter Chang]

Hi

is there any open source library for python that can allow application
level monitoring ? For example,application can send per request level/
aggregated monitoring events and some remote server dump it and show
in the monitoring graph in real time ? What's best way of doing
that ?

Zenoss is a popular tool for that kind of thing. Here's an example of
sending a Zenoss event over XML-RPC:

Presumably you can send it evnts over other transports somehow (e.g. UDP).

Zenoss is itself implemented in Python.
