GNU AWACS - Computer systems monitor

GNU AWACS is a project intended to give users complete knowledge and control over everything that happens on their machines or within a network. By collecting information from logfiles, devices, programs, and binary plugins, it gathers whatever users want to know about their system. This information is then processed, evaluated, and interlinked. The processed data is then used for output backends into logfiles, programs, databases, and much more. The data can also be viewed with the help of multiple clients.

The program provides a data-oriented programming language. Possible uses include programming your system to handle basic administrative tasks, monitoring possible security problems, and gathering statistics about jobs/processes/network/user activity.

AWACS provides additionally background daemons, net, and pure ASCII clients for terminal connections. The configuration is split into control language and client-specific files which means you can use one configuration for all clients. It is in the alpha stage: the lib contains only the most basic structures plus several elements and commands; only one client, the micro daemon, implemented.
