Manzan feature request summary / redesign discussion #207
Description
Features requested
Feature: Running multiple Manzan instances: This could be useful if there are multiple users that want to run Manzan.
Challenge : Each user would need their own table to send messages to. I.e Manzan_msg, Manzan_vlog, audjrnts,... One way we could implement this is creating these tables in the user library at runtime if they don't exist, or requiring the user to run a script to create them.
Feature: Moving debug env var to config file: This is useful for convenience and also helps to enable running multiple Manzan instances.
Challenge: Minimal effort required.
Feature: Executing arbitrary sql at predefined intervals: Useful for custom metrics monitoring. Lots of interest.
Challenge: Huge security risk, especially for privilege escalation. One helpful thing might be to set config file permissions to 644, but I'm not sure if this is sufficient. Can also experiment with forcing manzan to be run by a non root user, to grant minimum privilege.
