Bayonne Site Monitor

Introduction

Baysight is a tool that may be installed on desktop GNU/Linux, xBSD, MacOSX, and Microsoft W32 systems to monitor a collection of one or more GNU Bayonne telephony servers in a production deployment. The Baysight application offers a front-end GUI for viewing live status from each of your GNU Bayonne servers. The "fox" toolkit is used to offer a portable GUI environment. An implementation of Baysight may also be offered as a Java application in the future.

Originally, this package was distributed as part of GNU Bayonne itself. The reason for separating Baysight from GNU Bayonne is that while GNU Bayonne may be installed on production servers, the GNU Bayonne site monitoring tool needs to be separately installable on individual administration workstations.

Baysight receives GNU Bayonne node status broadcast messages. These are typically sent either to specific workstations, or to a group of workstations that appear on a common subnet. A simple config file will be added to specify the port number GNU Bayonne will be transmitting under, and this only needs to be changed if the GNU Bayonne servers have also been modified to use a different port number.

At the moment, this application only offers a visual "view" of the status of remote GNU Bayonne servers. In the future, control options will also be offered both for configuration and over running servers.
