Xperteyes: Streamlining System Management with Configurable Error Checking Tools

Xperteyes by Pim Buurman addresses the challenge of managing multiple systems with limited administrators. Conventional errors often go unnoticed, leading to inconsistencies. This innovative solution offers an independent, fully configurable, and extendable tool for error checking that operates quickly and efficiently. Through a robust architecture involving collectors and viewers, implemented in Python and wxPython, it guarantees system-specific configuration and hierarchical data storage. Ideal for those seeking reliable management solutions with customizable testing capabilities.

  6. Implementation • Python • wxPython • Python C-extensions • compact and fast storage • system specific collecting Pim BuurmanX|support

  7. Collectors • Configuration data • Hierarchy - table - irregular • Hierarchical storage Pim BuurmanX|support

  8. General Checker • check <reqs> <out> <collection> … • Errors Pim BuurmanX|support

  9. Requirements • Object and selection • Tests • Context and severity Pim BuurmanX|support

  10. Requirements 2 • Selection: f(curr, spec) • Test: f(curr) • Customization • Python as test language Pim BuurmanX|support

  11. Requirement interpretation • All tests on the node are applied • Overlapping requirements • More specific blocks less specific Pim BuurmanX|support

  12. Requirement interpretation 2 require('/', perm_le(0755), selection=ALL) require('/tmp', [perm_eq(01777), uid_eq(0)]) require('/tmp', perm_le(0777), selection=ALL_CHILDREN) / /tmp /usr /var /tmp/pim /tmp/john Pim BuurmanX|support
