Looking for system/network monitoring tool written in Python

[Mike Meyer]

I've found a fair number of systems/network monitoring tools (things
like Big Brother, Big Sister, cricket, etc.) written in Perl. I'm
curious if there are any written in Python.

Thanks,

Depressing isn't it!

I'm curious if there are any written in Python.

I couldn't find any after extensive searching. I wasn't really looking for
Python solutions as such, more avoiding things in Perl/PHP etc. but I would
have noticed any Python ones. I won't bore you with my theories on why this
is.

Some applications such as nagios and moodss will at least allow you to write
your own scripts in Python. This is probably OK for small networks.

There's EDDIE - <http://eddie-tool.net/>. I've never used it myself,
but I can confirm that its author, Chris, is a good bloke and can hold
his ale, for what that's worth. ;-)

Thanks for the pointer. And to Simon Brunning for the pointer to
Eddie.

Also see Google.

While everything may be in Google, it's not always obvious how to get
it out. I've managed to extract a score of systems from Google - but
none based on Python...

How annoying that I didn't even notice one that was named after me. It's not
what I was after but interesting none the less.
