Scout is a hosted monitoring solution. Scout uses open-source plugins (written in Ruby) to monitor a wide variety of system, OS, and application metrics.

Each folder in this repository represents one Scout plugin.

This repo contains a Gemfile to use with bundler to install needed Gems for tests and the plugins themselves.

If you don't have Bundler:

gem install bundler

Once Bundler is installed:

bundle install

Anyone can create a Scout plugin. Get started by:

1. looking at the examples in this Repository
2. reading the development guide at http://scoutapp.com/info/creating_a_plugin

When you have something working you'd like to share, drop us a note at [email protected].

Or, send us a pull request here on github. Also don't hesitate to contact us before or during plugin development if you need guidance.

Plugin tests are key. Read up on plugin testing at http://scoutapp.com/info/creating_a_plugin#test_file.

We prefer test/unit for its ubiquity and simplicity.
