TODO

Next Steps:

1. Define the status of services (OK and ERROR enough?)
2. Handle the status of services and produce a new internal status (OK, ERROR, WARNING enough?)
3. Implement the Task interface and write a task to store output in a database
4. Implement the Plugin interface and write a plugin to show some data and statistics in a web interface
5. Add more services, tasks and maybe plugins...

Things to do in no particular order:

• Implement error handling at all needed places! currently nearly no error handling is done!
• Configure the logger
• Make use of the logger wherever it us useful! and be informative when information really helps debugging the application!
• Multicore support when scheduling jobs with APScheduler
• Parent alerting (escalation)
• Core error alerting to [linspector]->members on internal errors
• Hostgroup parents (example: if the hostgroup "network" is down, don't alert for the hosts in that network)
• Add more tasks e.g. storage in mongodb or mariadb and some more notifications like XMPP and SMS
• Check for all required configuration options and set defaults in services.
• Write documentation and inline documentation.
• Add kwargs to notifications, tasks and maybe plugins.
• Add date and cron based scheduling to linspector.py to make the full use of APScheduler.
• Make Linspector Windows compatible (not so important)
