Hey everyone,

I am the developer of ScopePort: A free remote monitoring server. Yes,  
another one. Please don’t ask why there is a need for another remote  
monitoring server. Check the website of ScopePort or this blog post  
for the answer of your not asked question:  
[http://blog.scopeport.org/remote-monitoring/defining-good-remote-monitoring-server/](http://blog.scopeport.org/remote-monitoring/defining-good-remote-monitoring-server/)  
🙂 Thank you!

The Web Interface was initially written in PHP. As the needs were  
rising I PHP considered as not flexible or just good enough to fulfill  
my needs. This is why I recently decided to re-write the whole Web  
Interface with Rails. The Layout was ready so the development could  
start immediately. I already implement some controllers but I know  
that I need some support as soon as possible.

In this state of early development of the Web Interface (the server  
and clients are ready for a beta test but worthless without a Web  
Interface) we can even think about further structure and development  
because nothing has to stay as it is. I for myself am quite new to  
Rails so it’s safe to say that there will be some things that should  
be changed. I need your experience here to keep our project flexible.

ScopePort is licensed under the terms of the GPL.

Thanks for your time and your interest in free software.

Best regards from Hamburg, Germany

Thanks for your reply!

I am needing help for almost everything related to the Web Interface. 🙂

- Generally forms to fill the database the server is reading and  
reading. A  
dashboard with the health values of monitored servers and services. All  
the  
data comes all from the database.

- I have no login/user system yet. This is another very big point, too.

- User definable overview screens where a user can put graphs and data.  
The  
stuff to display on big screens in the office. 😉

I am working on a ToDo in the Wiki.
