"Yet another stack" is actually one of the reasons. Func is so cool that many people are using it to control all of their machines. So they already did all certs work to setup secure connections, why should they bother to setup "yet another stack" (possibly not so secure) just to get some stats from the machines? Inventing the wheel again is always bad so instead I would like to focus on creating "wrapper" modules that are able to get stats from other applications (like nagios plugin) and use Func only as transport layer and API for easily creating customized stats applications. So there are 3 advantages: - no need to setup another communication link between computers - it's more secure than most stats applications - cool API for creating apps that use statistics informations (like integrating it with some web application) func-stats should only be example application, just like func-inventory is. > Apache configs are kind of hard to model, what do you have in mind > there? Using templates, set in local module configuration files or pushed in the "copyfile" style (your idea). You have suggested using Cheetah templates which sounds reasonable. _______________________________________________ Func-list mailing list Func-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list
