# Aten

This is an implementation of [A New Adaptive Accrual Failure Detector for Dependable Distributed Systems](https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1244129)

for distributed Erlang.

Aten is an essential dependency of [Ra](https://github.com/rabbitmq/ra).

## Project Maturity

`aten` is a reasonably mature project that has been used in production

for a few years. Breaking public API changes are unlikely.

![Actions](https://github.com/rabbitmq/aten/actions/workflows/tests.yml/badge.svg)

## Use

``` erl

%% start the aten application if not part of a release

{ok, _Apps} = aten:start(),

%% register interest in status changes for a node

ok = aten:register(node1@host),

%% receive status change events

receive

    {node_event, node1@host, down} -> ok;

    {node_event, node1@host, up} -> ok

end

%% deregister interest

ok = aten:deregister(node1@host),

```

## Build

``` shell
