Hi list,

First, I'd like to apologize if the subject of this mail is somewhat off-topic.

Davide Mendolia and me are currently working on: "Alternative PHP
Monitor" (APM - http://code.google.com/p/peclapm/) which consist of
three parts:
- a PHP extension which has as a goal of capturing "events" (warning,
error, notices,... and slow requests) storing them centrally in an
SQLite DB.
- a webfrontend to display captured events (for now, it's basically a
table without any filtering or querying).
- a "central aggregator" which collects events from the different
"nodes" (still not developped).

I think it is important to mention that we are talking about 100% Free
Software here :-)

An event is currently characterized with the following properties:
- a unique ID
- a timestamp
- a script filename/line number
- an event level corresponding to error levels
- a message

A "slow request" is characterized with the following properties:
- a unique ID
- a timestamp
- a script filename
- a duration

We'd like to have your opinion on our "next steps", what is the most
important feature according to you:
- The development of the central aggregator
- Collecting more info related to an "event" (content of variables
$GLOBALS, $_GET, $_POST,...)
- alert systems (SNMP, Mailing, ...)
- Web services
- extending the webfrontend

Any similarity with existing Israeli products is purely coincidental. :-)

Thanks for your help,
Patrick
