Enterprise style Central Management Interface - {Now $1900}
-
Do the bounty posters want a standards based soluton, or special pfsense only solution? I think the only intelligent way would be for a standards compliant solution rather than a pfsense only solution… such as the suggested CMI model.
I think CIM - common interface model - may be more appropriate. Open standard. Extensible. Several tools for it exist. A good look at http://www.openwbem.org/ maybe worth the time. It implements CIM and has some vendor backing.
How does one collect on a bounty?
I understand GPL accomplishes different goals than BSD. Different. Why the animosity against a GPL solution? Would a GPL add on be acceptable?-tom

dutler: My idea is to have a lightweight easy to embed "CMI", or rather GUI that interprets the data collected by the .. probes (?) set in crontab.
In a way, we would work much like most supervision systems (Nagios ..), but always following the KeepItSimpleStupid guideline.
I'm personally not against third party plateforms / frameworks, as long as we are allowed to freely use, distribute, and sell it, and as long they respect the above KISS rule.
To clarify my previous post, i can offer a $1000 euros bounty to any legal entity (understand company) that can make legit invoice for the job.
But, I, personally, would like to see the code produced but this bounty freely available to anyone, and if Scott and other members agree, make it part of pfSense as a package (for the pfsense related part of the CMI's probes / plugins mechanisms that will be required on remote boxen).
And btw, best wishes to all for '09.

Pulling my bounty. Looks like this is not going to happen and am looking into alternative solutions. Thanks for showing interest. Unless someone else is interested in continuing with this I don't mind if it is moved.
-
I'm likely to take on this project starting in a few days. For those that are still interested please reaffirm your interest.

The original author of this bounty has contacted me and indicated that he is no longer interested in this bounty. I will be moving this thread to "Expired" at the end of this week unless someone has reasonable objections.
-
Since MCRANE has shown interest again I am back in with a bounty of $750. I will put together my reqs for the bounty.
-
Since this thread has gotten so long and you're re-offering a much smaller bounty, I encourage you to open a new thread, complete with your requirements.
-
Just so it is understood why..the lower bounty is due to someone who was interested in the bounty originally has decided to back out and find another solution since this bounty has dragged on so long. I will reopen the bounty under another request.
-
Started new thread please post your reqs and amount you are willing to add to the bounty.
-
This is is getting to be confusing. I suggest closing this thread and moving to the new one.
