Several central components are now functioning to initial |
17 |
< |
design parameters and data can now be passed through the |
18 |
< |
system successfully. Many planning and design decisions |
19 |
< |
are still being made, along with various specification |
20 |
< |
documents. Detailed information can usually be found in |
21 |
< |
the meeting minutes. Code is viewable via CVS to UKC |
22 |
< |
users only. |

All i-scream components are now functioning to initial |
17 |

design parameters and our system is regarded to be complete. |

Documentation is available to assist third party programmers |
19 |

in producing Hosts for use with the i-scream server. |

Our progress during the project can be found in the meeting minutes. |

The i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System <a href="http://raptor.ukc.ac.uk/~pjm2/reports">Reports</a> |
26 |
+ |
are now visible on the web. You may view the latest information |
27 |
+ |
about each machine, historical 24-hour reports and alerts for |
28 |
+ |
each machine. Please remember that this is work in progress |
29 |
+ |
still, so the only data currently viewable is our own data that |
30 |
+ |
has been harvested by our own testing. Also note that historical |
31 |
+ |
reports are only available for periods during which our server |
32 |
+ |
was running. |

Our current host development allows us to pass machine statistics |
37 |
|
to our distributed filter arrangement, which then processes the |
38 |
|
data and stores it for later use. An example of such use is the |
39 |
|
historical report generator which produces graphs of machine |
40 |
< |
usage over periods of time (viewable in a web browser). Realtime |
41 |
< |
clients are also currently being developed - one Java Swing GUI |
42 |
< |
version and also a command line version that can run in a terminal |
33 |
< |
window. |
40 |

usage over periods of time. A real-time |
41 |

client is also available (Conient) and alert information can be |
42 |
> |
displayed to the public via dynamic web pages. |

Builds of the i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System |
47 |
+ |
are now available for <a href="/downloads/">download</a> from this |
48 |
+ |
website. These are still very much in development and should |
49 |
+ |
only be used by people who have been in communication with the |
50 |
+ |
development team. Please email us if you wish to use any i-scream |
51 |
+ |
software, as we are interested to know who is using it and we may |
52 |
+ |
be able to help you out with any problems you encounter. |

On Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th October all members of the group made presentations to various groups of peers. |
59 |
> |
The project deadline was 4pm on 29 March 2001. Most of the group |
60 |
> |
met very early that morning to compile the project into five |
61 |
> |
lever arch folders. The project, consisting of source code, user, |
62 |
> |
maintenance and other documents, was handed in at 3pm. The CVS |
63 |
> |
repository was tagged to signify the project's completion, however, |
64 |
> |
development and enhancements to the system shall be continued |
65 |
> |
in the near future. |

As can be seen in the "problem domain" document, the project |
70 |
> |
was aimed at the UKC Computer Science department, and as such |
71 |
> |
we believe a demonstration to the "customer" is important. The |
72 |
> |
feedback from our demonstation was more positive than we had |
73 |
> |
anticipated. We believe that our project may now be of great |
74 |
> |
interest to anybody who wishes to monitor a number of machines |
75 |
> |
on their network using a central configuration. |
