GSoC project proposal - django monitoring architecture

[Milan Cermak]

Hi,

I have this idea for the Django project. It's a concept, I haven't yet
thought about it thoroughly, so I'd love to here the community's
feedback and if it's at all suitable for the GSoC.

The idea is to create a framework that let's developers integrate
monitoring and logging resources into webapps and also a way to
display the accumulated data. Developers will be able to monitor
anything which is a part of a Django project (cron jobs, data imports/
exports, HTTP requests, user actions, page views, DB and server load,
etc.).
Data (what's happening with the apps) can be logged in real-time into
a DB backend, using the ORM. This, together with other data sources
(e.g. Apache log files) will be then displayed in a pretty, elegant
and dynamic way, ,maybe as a part of the admin interface.

This is a ruff sketch of the idea. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Milan

This sounds like something that can be done as an external project, not
requiring changes to core (it sounds too intrusive if it does require
changes to core). So it's out of scope for a summer of code project.

Also, realise that a lot of what you're after here could be done as an
extension to the django-debug-toolbar project, so if you wanted to
persue this as a project in your spare time, that would be a place to
start.

Regards,
Malcolm

Yeah, it doesn't need any changes to the core. I take a closer look at
the django-debug-toolbar then. Good luck with GSoC.
