Feature Request: Supervisord integration about amon HOT 6 CLOSED

An example:

I have supervisord configured to run a lot of server daemons that I wish to monitor. I would like that amon collector would ask supervisor_ctl for process names, groups and pid so it can monitor those processes as if I had manually added them to 'process_checks' configuration myself. This way I only need to configure my daemons in one location.

That sounds good. But I am not sure if I can work on that specific feature anytime soon.
But it's not hard to implement - if you like, you can do that.
The only thing Amon cares about is a list with all the processes in defaults.py
So you can create a small python script that checks /etc/supervisord or supervisorctl and returns a list with all the values,
than in defaults.py - you can import the variables from the script and replace the PROCESS_CHECKS list defaults.

The thing is, I don't have process names, but PIDs... but I will see what can I do and then send you a pull request.

This would be an ace feature. How are you going about it, @santagada?

from amon.

Right now my instance creation script both creates the supervisord configuration and adds the process names to amon conf.

Later what I plan to do it to modify amond to query supervisor using the xmlrpc interface... the thing is, should it do it once whant loading the configuration or should it try to refresh the data? Also there could be a supervisor plugin atached to an event to send event data to amon.

Alright, excellent. Querying supervisor sounds like the reasonable next step. I definitely think it should refresh the configuration (event driven, optimally).
