Possible next open source contribution: monitoring
I wanted to create a free server resource monitoring platform for our server management customers to help predict when things are likely to go wrong. I looked at ServerDensity, Observium and NodeQuery but each had their pitfalls.
I spent the weekend learning Phalcon and produced something quite similar to NodeQuery and have a few trusted customers trying it out. It seems to work fine but needs some there are parts that need improving before it's used publicly. I will also be adding a unique feature: statistic predictions.
Before any public release, I would appreciate your opinion on whether it would interest you or not, and if so, whether you would want to use it as part of a hosted service, or a downloadable product (probably open source). If there's enough interest in either route, I'll package it up for that when I've finished the main release. The downloadable option would need some sysadmin knowledge to set up Phalcon.
Current state of play:

Cool, count me in as a tester :-)
Looks really nice.
I'd be interested in testing this. I'm a developer as well so I'd be more than happy to help with debugging and contribute code.
So what were the pitfalls of NQ - sounds like they were minor since yours is quite similar...?
maybe you can add user login/logout acitvity,and invite me as tester please
It looks nice. Thanks to add me to the beta-tester list :-)
I'm definitively interested in this.
I really like NQ but when I tried it out there were lots of false positives and alerting was limited. Also I understand that the developer doesn't have a lot of time at the moment to continue its development.
Intrested on running this on my own.
Looks pretty neat! And yes, get quite a few 'down' false positives from NQ.
I've been busy coding today and I think it's ready for a public test.
Could anyone interested in testing please fill out this very short form?

The last 2 questions are to help evaluate the best way forward for the software.

Let me know when I can test your project :-)
@jhadley
Is a webserver needed for the server which gets monitored?
No
Curious to see how this turns out :-), wouldn't mind giving it a go either.
awesome, handed my form in
if you ever need some pointers on how to handle some weird things that can come up in monitoring please let me know. Since your planning on up sourcing them i dont mind giving out some ideas.
@jhadley Signed up on the Google form, hope to be testing soon ^.^
Form was submitted :-)
count me in for testing.
Really surprised at the amount of interest in this. I've sent out a second round of logins and will probably send out a third round this afternoon.
If you added Windows support that would be amazing!
didn't get anything
I'd be happy to test and maybe contribute if open-sourced on GitHub.
Just sent out a third round.
If you still haven't got it, PM me your email.
Still not sure what avenue to take with this - depends on testing, spare time...
Quick update:
Also still accepting more beta testers.
Looks good. If you still need betatesters, I'll give it a go.
See the link at the top
@jhadley Thanks for the beta invite! Is there any objection to changing the cron from */5 to * for more often checks?
I wouldn't recommend it as it could break future functionality.
