Title: Trailbot, a monitoring tool for sysadmins that leverages the Bitcoin blockchain Post by: Stampery on August 24, 2016, 10:43:01 AM Trailbot tracks your server's logs and files, triggers Smart Policies (https://github.com/trailbot/client/wiki/Smart-Policies) upon potentially unwanted modifications and generates a tamper-proof audit trail of everything happening in the system by leveraging the Bitcoin blockchain.
Smart Policies (https://github.com/trailbot/client/wiki/Smart-Policies) are simple scripts that get called every time a tracked file changes. They trigger actions such as emailing someone, rolling files back to a previous state or even shutting the system down. There are plenty of them ready to use (https://github.com/trailbot/client/wiki/Smart-Policies#ready-to-use-policies), and you can even create your own (https://github.com/trailbot/client/wiki/Smart-Policies). Trailbot has three components: Watcher (https://github.com/trailbot/watcher): a server daemon that monitors your files and logs, registers file events and enforces smart policies. Client (https://github.com/trailbot/client): (this repository) desktop app for managing watchers, defining policies and reading file events. Vault (https://github.com/trailbot/vault): a backend that works as a relay for the watcher's settings and the server events. Landing: https://trailbot.io/ Github: https://github.com/trailbot/client |
