WindowsDDC - Distributed Data Collector
WindowsDDC is a framework to ease and automate repetitive executions of
console applications (probes) over a set of LAN networked Windows
personal computers.
The framework allows for the remote execution of probes, providing
support for collecting the execution output of probes (stdout and stderr). Additionally, right after
a probe execution, the output can be parsed and processed by user
defined code (post collecting code,
written in Python) that can act accordingly to user's needs.
The framework can be useful to perform repetitive large-scale
monitoring and administrative tasks over machines with transient
availability, that is, machines that present no guarantees of being
available at a given time.
