You're probably better off using existing tools like Nagios and Munin rather than trying to reinvent the wheel. But yes, Python is a fine language for tasks like that. Server monitoring is an awfully big wheel to reinvent though; you should have a good reason for not using an existing, well-tested and supported product. > Get some metrics from Sybase and Oracle? Google blocked where you are? http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/prez-python-queries.html http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Python If you've got specific questions that you couldn't answer by googling, you should say so. > Get JMX metrics from Weblogic > Server (Weblogic Server is provided with a scripting tool based on > Jython) That's a pretty good hint. Are you aware that Jython is Python implemented in Java instead of C? In other words, Jython *is* Python. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
