Hi all

It has been a while since the last release of M/Monit and I wanted to give you a status update about our work on the next version of M/Monit.

We had planned to release M/Monit 3.0 this December, but we still need a little more time.

The reason is that we decided (a little late in the project) that we wanted to add full responsive design to the user interface. Implementing a responsive design requires a lot of user interface changes and that's were we are at now.

A responsive design means that M/Monit will work as a web-app on mobile devices. The screen shot below demonstrate the concept by showing the same page in a Browser and on a mobile phone.

Having the same app across all devices, lets us focus on implementing the best functionality. It also means that you can use the full power of M/Monit on your mobile device. By the way, the red line in the chart is a trend line, which we think will be useful, for instance to predict when it is time to invest in new HW.

The Plan

* We plan to release a beta version of M/Monit in January. The beta version will run for about a month and then we'll release M/Monit 3.0. I'll let you know on this mailing list as soon as the beta is available

* If you already have bought a license for M/Monit 2.x this license will continue to work with M/Monit 3.0.

* To be able to release sooner we have scoped out "agent-less" monitoring. If all goes well we plan to add this during the beta phase, otherwise it will be added in the next point release. Agent-less monitoring means that you can use M/Monit without requiring Monit. M/Monit will include the ability to check network service and also MySQL and Postgress databases. You should for instance be able to write custom SQL queries and monitoring them.
