------_=_NextPart_001_01C4E2D6.3263DA60 Content-Type: text/plain We're starting on a project that will involve remote data collection, with both scheduled events and on-demand requests. The data collection involves getting status info from remove servers, and a given request could involve several hundred such servers. Therefore there are considerable network issues involved, and the remote collections have to be done in parallel to get the results in a timely fashion. We've discussed making the collection server an Apache2/mod_perl2 server, and making the on-demand interface REST or another XML-based approach. I haven't done schedule-based requests in Apache before though, and other architectures seem better for that. We've also touched on POE, or handing the whole issue off to a network management system (OpenNMS). Of course there could also be a hybrid approach. Have any of you done this sort of thing with Apache before, or have suggestions on the above? Thanks in advance, ..Theo ------_=_NextPart_001_01C4E2D6.3263DA60 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" = xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">; <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <meta name=3DGenerator content=3D"Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)"> <style> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {color:blue; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple; text-decoration:underline;} span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal-compose; font-family:Arial; color:windowtext;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style> </head> <body lang=3DEN-US link=3Dblue vlink=3Dpurple> <div class=3DSection1> <p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D2 face=3DArial><span = style=3D'font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial'>We're starting on a project that will involve remote data collection, with both scheduled events and on-demand = requests.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D2 face=3DArial><span = style=3D'font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p> <p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D2 face=3DArial><span = style=3D'font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial'>The data collection involves getting status info = from remove servers, and a given request could involve several hundred such = servers.
