Firebird nagios plugin written in #python

Leave a comment

At work we use a lot of Firebird databases, and so far our system admins checked the availability of a Firebird Database by simply trying to connect via telnet to the port 3050 and see if they would get a response. With this kind of check you can’t really determine if the database is really up and running,

Therefore they asked me if I could write a plugin for nagios which would do a real check to ensure that the Databases are up and running, here is my result.

I chose to write the plugin in python, due it’s simplicity, and because I already wrote some script using the python-kinterbasdb extension

New Firebird site is almost ready

Leave a comment

From Alexey Kovyazin:

Hello All,

Current data transfer from old site to the new site is almost complete. There are following areas in process:

  • In Development – QA, Documentations for developers and .NET/Python drivers
  • Old news – we will transfer old news for a while, now at 2009-2008 level.
  • In About Firebird -> Features description, is in progress
  • Grantee reports from old years
  • Some minor content adjustments

Also we need to manage setup for daily snapshot uploads.

For regular site updates, like adding news or new FF members/sponsors, dedicated person from DQTeam will manage data adding/changing, until other site contributors will learn how to use CMS.

Actual transfer and redevelopment is almost over, now web-site redevelopment is about “intellectual” re-writing and new content creatiion.

Such process will be run constantly, and there will be always gap between ideal site and good-enough site.

I ask everyone to join the action now, look through the site thoroughly, and then provide actual help in order to jump over gap and switch to the new site in the next few days, and then go to the Phase 2 – improvements and extensions.
Old site will be live for a while, of course, so no content will be missed.

Regards,
Alexey Kovyazin

ANN: IBX for Lazarus and Firebird – Call for Testers

Leave a comment
MWA Software is pleased to announce the immediate availability of IBX for Lazarus. IBX for Lazarus is derived from the Open Source edition of IBX published by Borland/Inprise in 2000 under the InterBase Public License. This version has been brought up-to-date by MWA Software and focused on the Firebird Database API for both Linux and Windows platforms. It is released under the InterBase Public License for the original code and under the compatible Initial Developers Public License for new software. Both Licenses permit commercial use.

http://www.mwasoftware.co.uk/ibx

IBX for Lazarus has been developed in the context of a single project porting a large application originally developed in Delphi to Lazarus. Testing has focused on this application and the Linux 64-bit environment (Ubuntu 10.04), with product testing on 32-bit Linux and Windows XP. Wider deployment and testing is necessary before IBX for Lazarus can be considered stable.

You are encouraged to download the software and report your experience to us (ibx@mwasoftware.co.uk) – both good and bad so that a stable product can be made available to the Open Source Community.

Initially, please report bugs to the Bugzilla Database (http://www.mwasoftware.co.uk/ibxbugs) set up to monitor IBX for Lazarus bugs.

Initial Thread with the announcement (where other ports are discussed: OSX and some bugs fixed)
