Eye
Process monitoring tool. Inspired from Bluepill and God. Requires Ruby(MRI) >= 1.9.3-p194. Uses Celluloid and Celluloid::IO.
Little demo, shows general commands and how chain works:
Installation:
$ gem install eye
Why?
We have used god and bluepill in production and always ran into bugs (segfaults, crashes, lost processes, kill not-related processes, load problems, deploy problems, ...)
We wanted something more robust and production stable.
We wanted the features of bluepill and god, with a few extras like chains, nested configuring, mask matching, easy debug configs
I hope we've succeeded, we're using eye in production and are quite happy.
Config example

Start eye daemon and/or load config:
$ eye l(oad) examples/test.eye
load folder with configs:
$ eye l examples/
$ eye l examples/*.rb
foreground load:
$ eye l CONF -f
If the eye daemon has already started and you call the load
command, the config will be updated (into eye daemon). New objects(applications, groups, processes) will be added and monitored. Processes removed from the config will be removed (and stopped if the process has stop_on_delete true
). Other objects will update their configs.
Two global configs loaded by default, if they exist (with the first eye load):
/etc/eye.conf
~/.eyeconfig
Process statuses:
$ eye i(nfo)

for the nice config ideas.
