good monitoring solution for a dedicated web server?
we are willing to pay if the free ones are not as good? what do you recommend? also want something that would not impact preformance or ask me to put their logo on the site.
While dedicated server providers are quick to promote that they support the server hardware how proactive do you expect them to be in terms of identifying hardware problems?
When hardware goes bad a customer might see performance problems and report it, or perhaps notice hardware errors in the logs.
Or is it the host's job to be monitoring hardware components status? Would you consider such monitoring to be part of the basic service or an optional management extra?
I'm interested in your expectations with a typical dedicated server.
We are interested in launching a site dedicated to monitoring webservers and would like to know if there is a ready made solution for that. I know there are many tools like nagios, BB, cacti but what Im looking for is a program that is ready to be setup and will enable us to offer the same services offered by siteuptime.com, websitepulse.com, alertra...
Is there a really good software besides nagios for windows and linux?
I need a tool, even if commercial where I can install and will monitor every aspect of my local and remote network, linux and windows. Nagios is good but I was hoping for something more commercial that lets me monitor disk space, up time, security, processes, etc, etc.
i have the need to be able to have a monitoring software that could check and monitor the status of my diferent servers and vps hosting accounts. So when a server goes down i can have a report of wich component of the server failed, so i can identify faster, server problems.
The software sould also check the most number of server features, like:
FTP DNS APACHE DOMAINS PING DATABASES ETC
In a simple way, wich are the best programs to make this job done.
im willing to pay for a professional, simple, and reliable software.
I am starting photo sharing site.For this i am searching for good Windows dedicated server provider.My budget $400-500 with server management & firewall.I am confused in take 2 servers (1 DB & 1 Web) or 1 server.I am thinking if i take 2 server it must be $500+ for good processor.
I have 2 choices :-
1) Take 2 server
2) Take 1 server with separate Hdd for Web & DB server with raid(I have i doubt here can i take 2 separate size Hdd for raid 2 x 500GB for photos storing 2 x 73GB 15k for DB with raid 1)
What's the best solution web-based that I can install on a server to monitor a group of servers, services, bandwidth etc.. I'm thinking of offering a service where for a monthly price we'll monitor your server(s) and notify the data center or client of outages. So I'm looking for something that I can create clients then under them enter servers and items to monitor. Kinda like a NOC monitoring solution?
I searched but I haven't found anything. I need a server/client software to monitor all my Linux VPS/Servers. Do you know anything easy to use and install. I want to have a main server that verifys all the others.
I am just about to launch a new service but needed to know if logs are legally necessary - i.e. is there a law saying if I offer access to a server I am legally required to hold logs of all activity?
The service itself is all above board so there is no question from the business side.
All I will record is a log in name and associated IP to ensure that one account is not being accessed by hundreds of different people!
Thought I would try to get this clear in my head before going ahead and launching!
I am just colocating servers and managing them myself, and renting services off of them. In the future I would like to start offering dedicated servers as well. I am wondering if many companies do this, or if its more of a general practice to just setup as a reseller? The worst part that comes to mind is thinking of how to do billing for the bandwidth per month. With my setup I would only be offering flat bandwidth packages (like 2TB a month) but even so, I cant think of anyway to automate it so WHMCS knows if they went over, if so, how much, etc.
I use shared web hosting service to get my website online. I'm wondering how many people use dedicated servers or virtual private servers instead and pay from $20 to several hundreds of dollars? Will I face any big problem with shared web hosting package which makes me choose dedicated servers?
been using webserverguard.com to monitor my server which has been great because its free. Thinking of upgrading to a paid service and wondered what the good cheap options were?
how can i find out who is using up all the resources of 1 of my server, i am running CENTOS Enterprise 5.2 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0, i have around 180 web site currently on this server and i would like to move my customer how need more power.
or limit my customers to 10% of the server resources for no longer than 10min.
we have a large number of dell server like Pe 850-860, Sc1425-1435, Pe1850-1950, we are try to find a solution to monitor the server hardware like raid status, fan, ram, controller etc, we have try to use ITassistant but seem that work only with server with Drac card or we should install on each box OMSA, so i would know what different solution can we use.
I am running windows 2003 on my web server and I am hosting a program which I have users accessing all day. I was wondering a way that I could monitor who accesses the server and how many times daily. They already access the server with a username and password
My lease with LayeredTech is about to renew, so I am looking for better deals, and I found several $23 $24 $30 dedicated offers here. How are those servers/network/dc comparing to layeredtech?
I have not been looking for 2 years, because I was in other business. Badly needing a update on server industry now.
I thought utility bills are up, inflation is high, so it is a shock to see the price of dedicated servers are falling.
Does anyone know of a dedicated servers in USA/Canada that allow IRCd, and the price is UNDER $70/mo.
A server that has atleast 1GHz of processing power is good, such as a (Dual) P3 or a Celeron, or anything better. It needs atleast 512MB of ram, and atleast 10GB IDE/SCSI (SCSI preferred, not needed) HDD. And with atleast 1TB+ bandwidth.
Netdirekt has a $50 server which is what I need, though its in Germany, I prefer a USA/Canada server.
Currently I run my forum with a host that is having too much downtime for my liking. I run a new forum on vBulletin with 210 + members with 1-5 new members. My main requirements are PHP5, MySQL5 and OpenSSL. What would your suggestions be for a host / server specification? Unfortunately as I am not using any advertising so my monthly budget is rather low ($50). We currently have a dedicated server with a 2.4ghz processor and 512mb ram but I would be more than happy to move to a vps if it would be more reliable.
Any programs you recommend for monitoring? I am looking for something to add to keep an eye on my servers in addition to the third party services I am already using. Does not matter if it is linux or windows based.
