+Features
|
|
|
+--------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Simple
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Supervisor is configured through a simple INI-style config file
|
|
|
+ that’s easy to learn. It provides many per-process options that make
|
|
|
+ your life easier like restarting failed processes and automatic log
|
|
|
+ rotation.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Centralized
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Supervisor provides you with one place to start, stop, and monitor
|
|
|
+ your processes. Processes can be controlled individually or in
|
|
|
+ groups. You can configure Supervisor to provide a local or remote
|
|
|
+ command line and web interface.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Efficient
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Supervisor starts its subprocesses via fork/exec and subprocesses
|
|
|
+ don’t daemonize. The operating system signals Supervisor immediately
|
|
|
+ when a process terminates, unlike some solutions that rely on
|
|
|
+ troublesome PID files and periodic polling to restart failed
|
|
|
+ processes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Extensible
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Supervisor has a simple event notification protocol that programs
|
|
|
+ written in any language can use to monitor it, and an XML-RPC
|
|
|
+ interface for control. It is also built with extension points that
|
|
|
+ can be leveraged by Python developers.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Compatible
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Supervisor works on just about everything except for Windows. It is
|
|
|
+ tested and supported on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and FreeBSD. It is
|
|
|
+ written entirely in Python, so installation does not require a C
|
|
|
+ compiler.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Proven
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ While Supervisor is very actively developed today, it is not new
|
|
|
+ software. Supervisor has been around for years and is already in use
|
|
|
+ on many servers.
