Gstatus on Github
Posted Wed Dec 21 @ 04:36:14 PM PDT 2011
The little project I started two weeks ago has now grown into a full blown application.
Instead of relying on all those pipes and little programs, I wrote a server in Python to listen for incoming log files and parse out the IP and hostname. I also added a little code to parse "money" messages, so I can detect when any of my sites make money (and I display that on the map).
I used the Google Maps API color schemer to make a cool black and gray map.
I put the code for Gstatus up on Github, so you can check it out. I tried to write a thorough README to get you bootstrapped, if you want to set it up for your websites.
