part of my slow release of software I wrote over the past decade that others may find useful

In high performance systems, it it often useful to serialize and externalize logging of values to a database table. This program permits client to send messages in JSON that will be logged to a database table.

There is no authorization, so it is very important this daemon runs on the loopback and isn't accessible to the outside world.

Messages will be accepted in the form (JSON):

{
    "table": {
        "fieldname": fieldvalue,
        "fieldname": fieldvalue,
        "fieldname": fieldvalue,
    }
}

INSTALL

Obtain mysql-python from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/files/

tar -zxvf MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz
cd MySQL-python-1.2.3
sudo python setup.py install

$ sudo easy_install python-daemon
$ sudo easy_install pyzmq

Also requires json, which I already had on my system, but you may not have on yours

You can test by running in the foreground with ./listener.py
