What it is

A 'portal' block for the Horde Framework that polls servers running phpSystemInfo and displays server statistics. A useful tool for quickly scanning a number of different servers for some quick 'how goes it' information.

This Horde Block drops easily into an existing Horde installation. Configuration is done completely through Horde's portal layout page.

That being said, if you would like to contribute to the development of this software, send any comments, suggestions, patches to mike at theupstairsroom dot com.

Requirements

This may go without saying, but I'll say it anyway - the machines you wish to monitor must have a web accessable phpSysInfo installation running. See the phpSysInfo project for more information. In addition, the following are also required:

• A working Horde install. Minimum version is Horde 3.2 - which as of this writing is currently in alpha.
• PHP must have either domxml(PHP4) or dom(PHP5) support build in. I believe this is also a Horde prerequisite so this should not be a problem.

Installation

Download the file phpSysInfo.tgz and unpack into the Horde Blocks directory. This will usually be horde/lib/Block
That's all there is to it. Now you can add as many phpSysInfo blocks to your portal page as you need and each one can be configured to poll a different server running phpSysInfo.
