Please allow the addition of the uvp-monitor source and binary package into the Ubuntu universe.
[Rationale]
T-Systems requested including of the uvp-monitor tool in Ubuntu for their T-Systems cloud. It's a tool providing enhancements to VMs running on UVP/Xen by collecting and exporting recource usage data as well as VM hostnames. It will only be used on T-System cloud images, having no real effect on regular images if installed.
The source code of the project is a real mess, but only a small portion of the code is being used for the uvp-monitor tool. The packages, after being built in a PPA, have been tested both by me and T-Systems and confirmed to be working as expected. The Foundation team will be responsible for providing package updates whenever a new version will be requested or needed for any other reason.
Since artful is in Feature Freeze, this bug is also a request for a Feature Freeze Exception. The package will not be seeded on any released images and is a direct request from T-Systems to get our cloud images on their platform up-to-date feature-wise. |

[Testing]
The initial version of the uvp-source package has been made available in the ppa:sil2100/testing PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~sil2100/+archive/ubuntu/testing
If required, the package can be tested on a T-Systems cloud image:
* Deploy a Ubuntu VM on T-Systems
* Install uvp-monitor, confirm that it's running
* On your host, go into the instance management web UI, go into the details of the running image and check monitoring data
* Make sure data such as disk/CPU usage is being registered |
