Management Protocol

Cartographer's management protocol is a custom-designed, XML-based, management protocol transported via SSL over TCP. The protocol adapts and extends the Internet Management Framework's structure of management information(SMI). Further, the protocol utilizes XML for both data modeling and transport. The choice of XML provides more future-proofing than the original Basic Encoding Rules (BER) that SNMP utilizes. Further, choosing XML allows us to take advantage of all the XML tools and code libraries in existence today.

Peer-to-Peer

Screen Snapshots

Cartographer's main window includes facilities for loading and unloading topographies, launching views, and tools for mainipulating the database of systems and dependencies.
A dependency view of the example distributed system. This view utilizes a directed graph to show both intra and inter-system dependencies.
This view shows the conversations between the system at the center of the graph and members of the distributed system.

The default layout for a dependency view uses an organic layout algorithm.

Example Statistics

These graphs were constructed using MRTG querying Cartographer agents natively via its custom management protocol.
