  Sputnik




The idea with Sputnik is to provide an easily deployed and performant monitoring agent for executing health probes and relaying health data. It's also a framework for building plugins.

**Key strengths**

- Lightweight & performant:

  - Native plugins are loaded into memory on startup: no expensive script execution necessary.

  - Uses an event loop for handling monitoring requests and is capable of high, inexpensive concurrency.

- Redundant & scalable:

  - Multiple Sputnik instances connected to a RabbitMQ cluster provides both increased monitoring capacity as well as redundancy.

- Secure:

  - Uses TLS for authentication and communication security for services in its control

  - Input data is validated against the accessed plugin's schema, both for Native and Foreign (such as Nagios scripts) plugins.

- Flexible:

  - Configurable modes

  - Platform independent

**Progress/Modes**

- [ ] Server: Takes monitoring requests from a Sputnik TCP client – WIP

- [ ] Dispatch: Consumes monitoring requests or responses from a message broker

- [ ] Relay: Consumes monitoring responses from a message broker

- [ ] Publisher: Sends results of health checks initiated by Sputnik to RabbitMQ or another Sputnik server

- [ ] Router: Routes requests and results to other Sputnik servers or message brokers

**Progress/Clients**

- [ ] Python client – WIP

- [ ] Golang client

**Progress/Other**

- [ ] Plugin system – WIP

- [ ] Scheduler
