<h2>i-scream TODO list</h2>

This is a list of things which still need to be done;

<h3>Server</h3>
<pre>
LocalClient Monitors: Disks, Load, Process, Queues, Service Checks, Users
Service Checks: FTP, Telnet, POP3, IMAP, SSH, Finger
WebFeeder needs completing
Sort out GC & Configuration objects (and CorbaHandlers).
Makefile stops halfway through on FreeBSD (dependency?).
Sort out verbosity levels of messages around the server.

Completed:
----------
01/03/2001 - Make it easy to change flags to the java compiler.
             Configuration groups need implementing.
28/02/2001 - Queue identification ? Use a hash of the Queue ?
             Fix the Queue "unlimited" size problem.
27/02/2001 - (not needed) ClientInterface/DBInterface need to "pull" data ?
             Builds on the website ?
             Change build scripts to make iscream-server.java/tar.gz/zip
25/02/2001 - Move checking of logging verbosity to the servant.
23/02/2001 - print verbosity level with logging messages
             functionality added to the LoggerServant
23/02/2001 - Startup of components - eg. running DBInterface on another machine.
             Now catches any problems relating to not finding a component if
             a component has a dependancy.  The component manager will then
             retry it after a given timeout.
12/02/2001 - Logging of Queue.status() somehow.
06/02/2001 - Make use of the PrintWriter "autoflush" feature :)
28/01/2001 - Add dependency checking for the DOCOPY Makefile target.
             Client Interface needs more functionality.
             SQL Driver doesn't work in Windows.
18/01/2001 - Heartbeats are still dropped.
             CVS directories get added to build tar/zip file.
             Problem on FreeBSD with zip file adding more files than it should.
             Remove Component from util package -> ComponentManager.
             Remove ReferenceManager from util package -> ComponentManager.
             Add status methods to the Queue that return just values.
             Clean up the util package, it shouldn't do logging etc.
               -- done with the exception of ReferenceManager.
16/01/2001 - Build a util package JAR file seperately.
14/01/2001 - Javadoc pages on website ?
               -- done for the server at least.
12/01/2001 - Investigate the use of a Queue in the Filter, to replace the
             current FilterThread setup.
07/01/2001 - Makefile needs to copy non-java files to JAR (eg. images).
02/01/2001 - Add making of Javadoc pages to make scripts.
             Queuing system in the root filter.
</pre>

<h3>Conient</h3>
<pre>
Consider graphing of some values?
Allow changing of view 
 -adding removing data fields??
 -comparing fields accross servers
Maybe handle exceptions nicer in the comms
Switch to using the StringUtil class for the firewall command stuff

Completed:
----------
01/03/2001 - re-work host display and choosing mechanism (ie, make us 1.1 protocol)
26/02/2001 - Rework system displaying of components for Swing Event Handling
             Allow config to be written back to a local file
             Allow local file config to be changed via the GUI
05/02/2001 - allow disk components to alter their units
             have some icons and the i-scream logo on display
             show errors in windows rather than on the console
             Fix error in packet stopping update of ALL hosts
04/02/2001 - Write LOADS more data components
03/02/2001 - Allow config to be obtained from the server
30/01/2001 - Add option to handle firewalls
29/01/2001 - Allow config to be obtained from a local file
             Fix problem with memory display showing negative values at start
             Ensure all Swing updates use the Swing Event Handling thread (partial - only data components)
28/01/2001 - Tidy up network comms and link handling
</pre>

<h3>statgrab</h3>
<pre>
FreeBSD - grabbing memory total
Linux - CPU %'s not always right, 2 repititions ?
Consider proc as a replacement for top on Linux
If possible, find alternatives to top, as it's very "heavy"
</pre>

<h3>C++ Host</h3>
<pre>
UDP Packet size to 8Kb
Porting to Linux/FreeBSD (Windows?)
</pre>

<h3>Winhost</h3>
<pre>
Processor ID should be packet.os.architecture
Minor version joined with packet.os.version
Logo ? Pink icon ? URL link ? fixes...
Solve OCX problem
</pre>

<h3>ihost</h3>
<pre>
</pre>

<h3>Web Reports</h3>
<pre>
Alert/System Summary Page
Individual Host Alert Summary Page(s)
