spvd is a generic supervision / monitoring daemon written in Python.
It is used internally at SmartJog to monitor several mission-critical services.
spvd by itself does not perform any monitoring task, but instead acts as a framework to run specific supervision jobs, which are implemented as plugins. Sample plugins can be found in share/plugins.
While it is designed to work with webengine-spv to fetch/update/reschedule/delete its checks, it is possible to create plugins using other methods.
spvd is released under the GNU LGPL 2.1.
spvd uses autotools for its build system.
If you checked out code from the git repository, you will need autoconf and automake to generate the configure script and Makefiles.
To generate them, simply run:
$ autoreconf -fvi
Webengine-spv builds like a typical autotools-based project:
$ ./configure && make && make install
We use semantic versioning for
versioning. When working on a development release, we append ~dev
to the current version to distinguish released versions from
development ones. This has the advantage of working well with Debian's
version scheme, where ~ is considered smaller than everything (so
version 1.10.0 is more up to date than 1.10.0~dev).
spvd was started at SmartJog by Gilles Dartiguelongue in 2009. Various employees and interns from SmartJog fixed bugs and added features since then.
