Hey everybody, this is my second message regarding this topic to rubyonrails-talk. My first message is from last year. There has been a lot of progress since then so I am asking again: ScopePort is a free open source remote monitoring system with a Rails web interface. We are searching for Rails developers to release a beta version as soon as possible. Ernesto joined the team after my last message and I hope to find somebody as cool as him this time again. Check out [http://www.scopeport.org/](http://www.scopeport.org/) for more information about ScopePort. Here is an installation guide for the development version that comes directly from our git repositories: [http://scopeport.org/guides/full\_install\_debian](http://scopeport.org/guides/full_install_debian) Thank you for your time! You can reply to this message or contact me directly at removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid So long Lennart ---

After looking over your screenshots, I have to ask… are you not aware of Nagios? Why reinvent the wheel? Between Nagios and MRTG, pretty much everything you’re doing has already been done. – Greg D.

But it has been done I a way that did not satisfy me. Best regards Lennart ---

I think I got a pretty good overview over FOSS remote monitoring software. > I mean, it’s very nice looking, was there something wrong with it as well? Don’t get me wrong. I think most of the other projects are great software! But they just did not fit my needs so I started writing my own. …and from the Feedback I got so far I can say that I am not alone with that opinion. ---
