Net::ZKMon - Perl extension for Apache ZooKeeper Monitoring =========================================================== About Apache ZooKeeper: From http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/: "ZooKeeper is a high-performance coordination service for distributed applications." It exposes common services - such as naming, configuration management, synchronization, and group services - in a simple interface so you don't have to write them from scratch. You can use it off-the-shelf to implement consensus, group management, leader election, and presence protocols. Zookeeper exposes 4 letter keywords meant for simple monitoring of the ensemble service. Please read : http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_zkCommands for more details INSTALLATION $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test $ make install OR more simply just use cpanm $ cpanm Net::ZKMon
