Hi,
Has anyone created of a good method to monitor if Mango is healthy? I.e. A system that sends notification in the event that Mango's core modules or data sources become non-responsive?

Was thinking of creating process events (heartbeats) from data source activity that is used by an external monitoring system for notification.

Does this help? (Excel to Mango only but could be a starting point)

Good work guys. Real progress with using the API here at DVR LTD.

It's also new to me Joel. :oops:

Take a look at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mqtt/c1dlCdA5eOc. Plenty of devices listed here. Xively (Pachube) also accepts messages in this protocol.
It appears that MQTT is not secure in its own right, but there are SSL/TSL implementations, presumably adding overhead :?

Anyhow, maybe we can provide a client side embedded instance if you look after the server side?

We are currently using Mango's HTTP receiver, but have concerns about its security. (DoS or MITM) Our thoughts turned to maybe updating the micro controller(s) to send it data through HTTPS (SSL) and of course rewriting the data source module. However, it appears that this idea is maybe a little burdensome on the controller.

So what about http://mqtt.org/ ? It appears to answer the security questions and is lightweight. Clearly the HTTP input module would need updating.
What do you think?
