Welcome to the QOS Project Page

QOS is a scalable, cross-platform, object-oriented monitoring system for a network of computers. It is fully functional and was used to monitor egroups.com's cluster of computers. It will monitor individual host and network resources. It will log that information into simple files for each resource for each host. With this data you will be able to trigger a notification or do accurate reporting on uptime for systems.

QOS supports monitoring several standard system parameters and network services, including:

  • Cpu
  • Disk
  • Memory
  • DNS
  • Mail & file queues
  • DiskSuite
  • Oracle Tablespaces
  • Processes
  • Snmp
  • Tcp
  • Web
  • SSL Web/HTTPS
  • or your own command to monitor whatever!
QOS is written in Python, which is easy to learn and manage, so if you want to extend QOS beyond Command, you simply subclass the base monitor class and extend to your hearts content.

Documentation!

Detailed documentation is now available for QOS -- Check it out!

If you'd like to get involved, or just test the water, please join our Yahoo! Group or post a message to one of the SourceForge Forums. We're very interested in solving monitoring problems for sites of all sizes. QOS does a lot, but it's only the tip of the iceberg...

Thanks for looking!
