Create custom Device Modules to use with Lithium. Building new Device Modules is as simple as loading the SNMP MIBs from the vendor, scanning the device and deciding what data values you want Lithium to monitor.
You can script custom tasks for Lithium to perform when an Incident (fault condition) is detected using Perl, Ruby, Python, Shell or any scripting language that can be executed on the Lithium Core host.
Likewise, custom Service Monitoring scripts can be written to perform detailed and application-specific checks to see if a service is responding and operating correctly.
A simple XML request and response format is used between Lithium Core and the Action or Service Monitoring scripts to communicate service status.
