FOSS remote monitoring system is searching for Rails developers

Hey everybody,

this is my second message regarding this topic to rubyonrails-talk. My first message is from last year. There has been a lot of progress since then so I am asking again:

ScopePort is a free open source remote monitoring system with a Rails web interface. We are searching for Rails developers to release a beta version as soon as possible. Ernesto joined the team after my last message and I hope to find somebody as cool as him this time again.

Check out http://www.scopeport.org/ for more information about ScopePort.

Here is an installation guide for the development version that comes directly from our git repositories: http://scopeport.org/guides/full_install_debian

Thank you for your time! You can reply to this message or contact me directly at lennart@scopeport.org

So long Lennart

After looking over your screenshots, I have to ask.. are you not aware of Nagios? Why reinvent the wheel? Between Nagios and MRTG, pretty much everything you're doing has already been done.

I am. And I worked with Nagios and Zabbix for years.

That is true. But it has been done I a way that did not satisfy me.

Best regards Lennart

Well what about Cacti, it was not suitable either?

I mean, it's very nice looking, was there something wrong with it as well?

Hehe, I also took a look of Cacti. I think I got a pretty good overview over FOSS remote monitoring software.

Don't get me wrong. I think most of the other projects are great software! But they just did not fit my needs so I started writing my own. ..and from the Feedback I got so far I can say that I am not alone with that opinion.
