Monitoring and state transparency of distributed systems

This paper presents the System Status suite of applications. These applications are used to provide a simple, uniform, and low developer cost system for exporting and tracking the state of OTP applications and services over a distributed server farm based network. The terms, simple, and low developer cost, will be elaborated on later in the paper. The system is intended to provide no formalized management framework. The System Status suite is specifically a state/status export and monitoring infrastructure.
