Linspector is at a very early stage of development, but I believe it will become +stable until the end of 2022. The old version of Linspector was usable and I ran it for +monitoring a small amount of services for some years. + +### Should I try the old version of Linspector? + +I recommend not to use the old version of Linspector because the new version will +in no way become backward compatible. Features of the old version will nearly all be +implemented in the new version so if you can wait a little then I recommend to wait +until I release the new version of Linspector. + +### Can I use an old configuration of Linspector in the new version? + +No! The new configuration does not use JSON files anymore but an INI file syntax based on +a directory tree. + +### Why should I use Linspecter even there are other mature and stable tools available already? + +Linpector aims to be very small and simple and even should work in home or small +environments. But Linspector also is useful in very large infrastructures for monitoring +thousands of devices and services. + +### Can I run multiple instances of the Linspector daemon? + +Yes, of course. Since you add a configuration path when running Linspector you can +just pass a different path to a configuration tree to each instance. And since you +can configure the PID file in each configuration you can even can start, stop or +restart each instance in a native way. + ## License ### MIT License
