$Id: TODO 1.7 Mon, 13 Aug 2001 07:02:17 -0400 trockij $
-add short "trap howto" and "radius howto" posts to the mon
list in the doc/ directory.
-make traps authenticate via the same scheme used to obscure
the password in RADIUS packets
-have an absolute "alertevery" which squelches alerts
regardless of whether or not the service goes down/up/down.
-descriptions defined in mon.cf should be 'quoted'
-document command section, trap section, snmp trap section in authfile
-there should be only one routine which handles dealing with failures
and successes (including calling alerts), probably the routine which tests
$? in proc_cleanup.
-output to client should be buffered and incorporated into the I/O loop.
There is the danger that a sock_write to a client will block the server.
-finish muxpect
-make "chainable" alerts
-make alerts nonblocking, and handle them in a similar fashion to
monitors. i.e., serialize per-service (or per-period) alerts.
-document "clear" client command
-Separate the decision-making code about sending alerts into a
separate routine, and make do_alert do nothing but deliver the
actual alert.
-Document trap authentication.
-Document traps.
-fix client opstatus parsing by converting clients to use Mon::Client
-Make monitors parallelize their tasks, similar to fping.monitor. This
is an important scalability problem.
-make changes to tkined so that it can query a mon server and
update the graphical map accordingly.
-re-vamp the host disabling. 1) store them in a table with a timeout
on each so that they can automatically re-enable themselves so
people don't forget to re-enable them manually. 2) don't do
the disabling by "commenting" them out of the host groups.
We still want them to be tested for failure, but just disable
alerts that have to do with the disabled hosts.
When a host is commented out, accept a "reason" field that
is later accessible so that you can tell why someone disabled
the host.
-allow checking a service at a particular time of day, maybe using
inPeriod.
-maybe make a command that will disable an alert for a certain amount
of time (maybe implement this as an at(1) job??)
-make it possible to disable just one of multiple alarms in a service
