There are a number of ways you can monitor the progress of your Grails build: using the Hudson / Jenkins web app; or leveraging the API: from your IDE, bespoke API clients or even your enterprise monitoring client. We’ll look at all of them here and build a simple Grails taglib to display build status in the ‘Application Status’ panel.
We’ve just fixed a bug in Nagios® which an Opsview user had raised to us. A change made to Nagios in version 3.2.2 caused an issue where service alerts were being raised in the nagios.log file for every result that came back from a host that was down. This had the impact of adding lots of extra alerts that were overwhelming Opsview’s event views.
The first part of a series of posts on Grails and Hudson leading up to a presentation at the London Groovy & Grails User Group. Subsequent instalments will include testing (unit, integration, functional), test coverage, automatic war deployment and monitoring Hudson with Opsview Enterprise.

Opsview is a leading Open Source application and network monitoring suite. Labs is where our engineers discuss new projects, new approaches and new frameworks they’re using.
