I've written a probe for DNS and a plugin that is an extension of the mailnotify plugin that adds support for a delay setting before a failure email is sent. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to make them available. Sincerely, Anthony Eden |

Hello, It states on your web site that: >Two new plugins are shipped with Mars: an XML Snapshot plugin, which periodically dumps a >copy of the Mars configuration with status information (intended for use with an XSLT stylesheet > for web presentation) Does anyone by chance have a simple XSLT stylesheet example to go with the XML snapshot plugin? Thanks, -- _nick |

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Mars caches the DNS results because Java does. I did set the cache timeout to be a little shorter, so Mars should be catching updates within five minutes of the updates happening. Is this not the case?

Hi, I am running Mars for a while and am very happy with it. Thank you. Whne there is DNS change mars seems to not be aware of it, it seems mars is not quering the dns for every request and instead cching the ip. I guess that is a bug right? Arno |

Dear Open Source developer I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate. You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it. With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development. With many thanks for your participation, Benno Luthiger PS: The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/. We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list. _______________________________________________________________________ Benno Luthiger Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 8092 Zurich Mail: benno.luthiger(at)id.ethz.ch _______________________________________________________________________ |

Mars 2.2.5 is now available. This is a primarily a bugfix release. Opening configuration files from the command line (broken in 2.2.4) works again. The XMPP notification plugin now handles client connections properly (thanks Mike Dixson for helping with this). Minor fixes were made to the open/save configuration file dialogs, and to configuration file opening on Mac OS X. Also, Mars' user interface has undergone a minor overhaul; Mars now has a menu bar, and the host/service tree is completely keyboard editable. All existing Mars 2.2.4 users are urged to upgrade to Mars 2.2.5. - Brian |

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Mars 2.2.3 is now available from sourceforge.net, thanks to the work and suggestions of community members Scott Ahten, Richard Gill, Noel Bergman, Robert Fuller, Stefan Svensson, and Ivica Loncar (and with apologies to Jon Steele, whose contributed probe extension will ship with 2.2.4). Mars 2.2.3 fixes a bug where Mars would send LF where CRLF is required, and adds features including regular expression search in HTTP responses, HTTPS probing via an included probe extension, and expand/collapse buttons to show and hide all monitored services quickly. See the change log for details. - - Brian Trammell, Mars Maintainer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (Darwin) iD8DBQFAFJh8bvTRtsmZQBgRAloXAJ9sF3qP+3Qy3dD9wmqcmqKbynCXXQCaArE4 nB1MhoonvtWDMQrmuhKHMwU= =S0hu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Once upon a time, this was in there... I removed it because it seemed to take up too much screen real estate for not so much benefit. You're right, though - this should at least be an option. Update on 2.2.3/2.3.0: it's looking (unfortunately) like October before I'll be able to block off any time to address the last six months' requests and put together a new release. - - Brian On Friday, August 8, 2003, at 02:59 AM, Stefan Svensson wrote: > Hi! > > Apart from the time, I'd also like to see the date in the history view. > > Stefan > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including > Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now. > Download today and enter to win an XBOX or Visual Studio .NET. > http://aspnet.click-url.com/go/psa00100003ave/ > direct;at.aspnet_072303_01/01 > _______________________________________________ > Leapfrog-mars-users mailing list > Lea...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leapfrog-mars-users > - -- Brian H.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Stefan, I don't know of a way for a Swing application to take geometry hints from the underlying windowing system (which is to say I haven't done any research on the subject)... however, since I'm manually setting the position and size of the window at start-up, it would be quite easy to add command-line parameters (or even configuration file directives) to specify the start-up geometry. I'll put it on the list for 2.2.3. - - Brian On Wednesday, July 16, 2003, at 03:44 AM, Stefan Svensson wrote: > Brian, > >> The main problem with ping (ICMP Echo Request/Reply) is that >> Java does not natively support ICMP. > > Thank you very much for a very enlightening answer.

Brian, > The main problem with ping (ICMP Echo Request/Reply) is that > Java does not natively support ICMP. Thank you very much for a very enlightening answer. I have found some other working ways of determining if servers (without specific services that is suitable for testing) is alive. I have another question to which I have not yet found an answer. It is related to Java and the Swing library: is it possible to specify the window geometry when starting up Java? I want to run mars on an X server, without any window manager. The mars console should occupy the entire screen. Stefan |

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Stefan, The main problem with ping (ICMP Echo Request/Reply) is that Java does not natively support ICMP. Adding support would entail writing JNI methods to implement ping for every target platform. Granted, this really only means writing it once in a portable way, as Mac OS X is a Unix, and Windows took most of its IP stack from BSD. However, it would greatly increase maintenance overhead and add a lot of complexity to the build system; not to mention I'd need to get access to one machine of each platform (I currently only have Linux, OpenBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows machines at my disposal). Furthermore, I'd have to invest in development tools for Windows (about half Mars' user base runs on one or another Win32 operating system), which are horribly overpriced due to Microsoft's infinite wisdom and benevolence; then I'd have to learn to use them. Oh, and to top it all off, since ICMP can be used to do some fairly nasty things, most (if not all) Unices require root access to ping (the ping program on most unices is setuid root to get around this, as the ping program can't be used to do much more than generate floods.) Sorry to answer so resoundingly in the negative. However, there are workarounds/rationalizations. :) 1) You can simulate ping using the tcp-connect service type. tcp-connect defaults to 7, the port for the TCP Echo service. Most machines leave Echo open, because it's only trivially exploitable; however, with rarely used services there is always the risk of an uncaught hole, so opening up all the machines you want to "ping" to listen on the Echo port is not without (in my opinion, miniscule) risk. This is the most reasonable way to handle workstations (machines with no services). 2) On servers which have only a single service, when that service stops responding, you have a problem that requires a response whether the network stack is up or down; while a ping would provide extra diagnostic information here, you're going to have to go take a look at the machine anyway. For remotely manageable machines, you can also probe the ssh service, which would promote the machine to having multiple services, as below. (Also, if ssh is down, you know you're going to have to actually get to the console in order to diagnose/solve the problem.) 3) On servers with have multiple services, if all the services go down at once, it's a reasonable assumption that the network to the machine is down or the machine itself is down. I could add code to Mars to detect this, but I haven't done so yet. Hope this helps, Brian On Wednesday, July 9, 2003, at 04:45 AM, Stefan Svensson wrote: > Hi! > > I've just discovered Mars, and this type of simple network monitoring > program is exactly what I need.

Hi! I've just discovered Mars, and this type of simple network monitoring program is exactly what I need. However, there's one thing that I miss: the possibility to execute a simple ping. I tried to find some plugins for this, but without success. Is there such a plugin, or do I have to learn Java and write one myself? :-) Stefan |
