Modernizr

Modernizr - Frontend development done right

Respond to your user’s browser features.

Modernizr tells you what HTML, CSS and JavaScript features the user’s browser has to offer. It makes the results available to you in two ways: as properties on a global Modernizr object, and as optional classes on the <html> element. This information allows you to progressively enhance your pages with a granular level of control over the experience.

This Drupal module provides deep integration with the Modernizr JS library, allowing other modules or themes to register tests, load additional assets as needed, and even create new copies of the Modernizr library when a website's requirements change. Read more below.

Boomerang

screenshot of default Boomerang view showing available statistics

This project is a wrapper for Boomerang, a Javascript program which "measures the performance of your website from your end user's point of view." The statistics gathered include:

  • Round trip time of the page ("t_done")
  • User's measured bandwidth in bytes per second ("bw")
  • User's measured HTTP latency in milliseconds ("lat")
  • etc.

This project consists of two modules, Boomerang and Boomerang Beacon. The Boomerang module adds Javascript to pages to send statistics to the beacon. The Boomerang Beacon module collects and stores the data. The modules are designed to be autonomous, so they can be run on separate sites. The Beacon is designed to be general purpose, so it can collect data regardless of where the "boomerangs" are coming from.

Thanks to the Exceptional Performance team at Yahoo! for releasing the Boomerang script which this module is created around.

Zabbix client for Drupal

This module enables a Drupal website to send statistics remote Zabbix server using a locally installed Zabbix client. For more information on Zabbix, see http://www.zabbix.org

The Zabbix server can then be configured to monitor the incoming statistics and trigger alerts according to your own specific requirements.

Gain a deeper understanding of your Drupal performance and find those transient problems before they become major issues.

An example Zabbix XML Drupal items is included for your Zabbix server. Refer to the zabbix_items.xml in the example_zabbix_server_configuration directory. This is an export of example_items from Zabbix Server 1.8.2.

Sending custom Zabbix statistics from other Drupal modules

If you have other Drupal modules that need to send statistics to a Zabbix server then you can accomplish this one of two ways:
1. Calling zabbix_send() directly:

if (module_exists('zabbix')) {
  $key='drupal.customstatistic';
  $value='100';
  zabbix_send($key, $value);
}

2. Or implementing a zabbix_items function in your module, eg. function mymodule_zabbix_items(). See the existing zabbix_zabbix_items() function as an example.

Installation

See the included README.txt for installation, Zabbix items and Zabbix server configuration instructions.
