Building a Server Health Monitoring Tool with PubNub

Brandon Scott, a software and web developer from Bournemouth University, describes the development of Cadence and Pulse, a server health monitoring suite created as part of a university project. Cadence, an open-source project, features a RESTful API that allows for extensive server monitoring and reporting, focusing on real-time updates and platform-agnostic accessibility. It integrates technologies like PubNub for real-time data streaming and Twilio for user notifications, transforming it into a proactive solution that alerts users to server issues as they occur. Pulse, the client-side app, is available as both an Android app and a website, allowing users to subscribe to server groups and view history and real-time statistics, enhancing user experience through an intuitive interface. The project emphasizes the importance of extensibility, allowing for platform accessibility and user data ownership while employing methodologies like Scrum to address teamworking challenges during the software engineering course.
