*  Nowadays, seismic observatories are increasingly acquiring data in real time from local or remote seismic networks. The storage of continuous data is facilitated by the relative cheap cost of digital storage. Most networks are dedicated to study the seismic activity of a region, using local, regional or worldwide networks. A typical workflow consists of automatically detecting earthquakes using state of the art tools, such as SeisComP3 or earthworm, manually review the events and finally publish seismic bulletins on a website. Many observatory scientists are also studying additional subjects, such as earthquake geology, seismic hazard assessment, travel time tomography, etc.

In active regions affected by large fault zones or on volcanoes, new techniques have been developed to study the state of the crust using continuous seismic data, i.e. the "seismic noise". We  present an low-effort way to extend a real time acquisition system with new tools to obtain additional monitoring parameters, such as, relative seismic velocity variations. The tool presented here is called MSNoise and makes an extensive use of ObsPy. MSNoise aims at being a fully modular framework built upon leading edge tools and routines. The integration of plugins will be demonstrated with a rewritten version of a magma migration location tool using seismic amplitude ratios (SARA).
