About Custodian
---------------
Custodian is a simple, scalable, and reliable protocol-tester that allows
a number of services to be tested across a network.
The core design is based upon a work queue, which is manipulated by two
main scripts:
custodian-enqueue
* A parser that reads a list of hosts and tests to apply. These
tests are broken down into individual jobs, serialized and stored
in a central queue.
custodian-dequeue
* A tool that pulls jobs from the queue, executing them in turn, and
raises/clears alerts based upon the result of the test.
Configuration
-------------
The software is configured by a single main configuration file located at:
/etc/custodian/custodian.cfg
This file contains the alerting mechanism to use, the IP:port of the queue
the two scripts mentioned above use, and similar static things.
Each of the available configuration options has a sensible default which
is documented in that same file.
Documentation
-------------
The software is documented online at the project home-page:
https://projects.bytemark.co.uk/projects/custodian/wiki
Beyond that each script has a manpage which is installed when the
package is installed - or which may be examined by invoking the
script with the "--manual" flag.
