Current Status

- During the "project week" coding has got well underway, - although mostly in the experimental stage. Planning and - design decisions are still being made, along with various - specification documents. Detailed information can usually - be found in the meeting minutes. Code is viewable via CVS - to UKC users only. + All i-scream components are now functioning to initial + design parameters and our system is regarded to be complete. + Documentation is available to assist third party programmers + in producing Hosts for use with the i-scream server. + Our progress during the project can be found in the meeting minutes. + Code is viewable via CVS to UKC users only.

+

+ The i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System Reports + are now visible on the web. You may view the latest information + about each machine, historical 24-hour reports and alerts for + each machine. Please remember that this is work in progress + still, so the only data currently viewable is our own data that + has been harvested by our own testing. Also note that historical + reports are only available for periods during which our server + was running. +

+ +

+ Our current host development allows us to pass machine statistics + to our distributed filter arrangement, which then processes the + data and stores it for later use. An example of such use is the + historical report generator which produces graphs of machine + usage over periods of time. A real-time + client is also available (Conient) and alert information can be + displayed to the public via dynamic web pages. +

+ +

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

Project Completion

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

- For those who are interested you can view an online version - of our presentation here. -
- Alternatively you can download a powerpoint version from - here. -

+ +

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