Oculus is a client-server based software for server monitoring. It allows users to monitor their servers efficiently and easily.
Oculus (The Eye) is a powerful server monitoring tool that operates on a client-server basis. The software's main focus is directed towards the development of the server, which serves as the central component of the system. As a starting point, a simple PHP client is created, but thanks to the ease of the programming protocol, clients can be implemented using any programming language, operating system, or GUI toolkit.
Key features of Oculus include XML configuration files, a plaintext protocol, and plugin support. In addition, the software utilizes /proc to obtain system and process information, making it simple to use the default plugin to obtain data.
As for installation, the `configure' shell script strives to deduce accurate values for various system-dependent variables that come into play during compilation. Once the values are determined, Oculus creates a Makefile in each package directory, along with one or more `.h' files that contain system-dependent definitions. Additionally, Oculus creates a shell script dubbed `config.status' that can be utilized in future to reproduce the current configuration, a file called `config.cache' to store the results of test caching to speed up reconfiguration, and a file named `config.log' that contains compiler output (helpful mainly for debugging `configure').
If you need to perform extraordinary setup procedures to compile the package, we suggest that you investigate how `configure' works to determine whether to apply them or not. You can also mail diffs or instructions to the address specified in the `README' so they can be taken into account for the next software release. If `config.cache' has results you do not intend to keep, you may remove or modify them.
Oculus uses `configure.in' to develop `configure' through a program called `autoconf.' `configure.in' is only necessary if you want to alter it or regenerate `configure' by utilizing a new version of `autoconf.'
Installing Oculus entails several procedures, and the simplest way to accomplish this task is by first `cd' into the directory containing the source code package and running `./configure' to configure the package for your system.
It is worth mentioning that running `configure' takes some time, given that it produces messages detailing the features it is examining. Once completed, type `make' to compile the package, and optionally, you can perform self-tests with `make check.' To install the programs and any data files and documentation, type `make install.'
Finally, you can delete the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean.' Likewise, to remove the files generated by `configure' to build the package for another form of computer, punctuate your command with `make distclean.' The package's developers mostly intend the `make maintainer-clean' target yet, you might have to get various other programs to rebuild reports that came with the distribution.
