Nostra is a JSON response system that runs on your servers to retrieve status-related information.
Open up a TCP session with Nostra on its given port and query as such:
{
"version" : "1.0",
"params" : [
"hostname",
"time"
]
}
Nostra will respond with data of the form:
{
"code" : 0,
"data" : {
"hostname" : "athena",
"time" : "2012-09-16T17:20:54-04:00"
}
}
