We're working on splitting this out into a reusable platform for writing lightweight host-based agents. Luvit works out fairly well for this - our monitoring agent runs in around 5mb resident memory, works on Windows (although we haven't released that yet) and is relatively easy to code on.
Shameless plug: if this sort of stuff interests you, hit me up, my email is in my profile.
- graue 14y agoI was referring to the "personal project" matt_m mentioned, but I'll take a closer look at this too.
- minikomi 14y agoLooks interesting. If I may ask, what inspired using luvit for this project in the first place?
- russell_h 14y agoWe use Node.js on our backend, were involved in some of the work that led to libuv being split out from node core, and were already planning to use Lua based on our experience with the Cloudkick agent. All told, when we saw what Tim was doing with luvit it seemed like a natural fit.
- minikomi 14y agoThanks. If lua and node are already part of your workflow, it makes sense to build on that. Looks like a lot of fun!
