We've built a monitoring system to do what we want. It has similar
overall structure to nocol (monitors, viewers, actions, etc.) but is
backened to a SQL db with a much more generalized approach. Since our
business grows and changes so fast, we didn't want to be limited too
much by early assumptions.
Right now, that is its major drawback -- it is too flexible. We plan to
come up with better docs and some example configs in the near future.
Once we finish a few more items on the TODO list, we'll release it for
all.
For now, we've put up the UDP server and client (other sections are just
stub links). Here's a link to it at the head programmer's site:

Feel free to send comments or questions (regarding this software:)
to either of us. He's not on the nocol-users list, so you'd have to
email directly. As always, we'd appreciate hearing if you end up using
this in your own environment.
