Description:
Host Alarm Monitor (ham)
------------------------
Ham is a monitoring system that alerts you if anything goes
wrong in your computer environment.

It is based on the idea that \'no news is good news\', in an
attempt to keep network traffic at a minimum. It is up to the
hosts themselves to monitor internal resources and
to send an alarm if anything is wrong.

Ham is based on perl and MySQL. It has a few alarm clients
of it\'s own, but can also use plugins from Mon and Nagios.
(The plugin interface is flexible and can probably
use other systems plugins also, as long as they are separate programs.)

Ham has a general extendible communication protocol that is used both
for the alarm clients and for the alarm presentation clients
(for people to look at :-).

It is easy to write new alarm clients, all it has to do is to
run a small perl program to send its alarm or, if it is in perl, include
the ham communication module.

Ham is running in production and the alarm daemons are stable.
Right now there are both a curses and a web presentation client.
There is also a plugin client (using plugins to check with),
a logfile watcher (with regular expressions like swatch)
and a ping client (using nmap to check in parallell).

Current versions of ham can be downloaded from
