Monitoring Systems (Email Pagers?)
how you guys monitor your websites and how you are alerted to it going down?
I have a backup VPS which will monitor my main site, with DNSMadeEasy IP failover to the backup server. But I would like to know it just went down!
I have googled and cant find an email to pager system, so I am hoping there is a email to SMS system?

Want To Change Email Systems
I have had enough of email problems that constantly happen on a server. For about three weeks now I have been dealing with email issues that I am going out of my mind. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a email scheme that will work. Here is what I would like to do. Disable Exim COMPLETELY. Either setup a server for email only or find a email solution. Email will be pointed ONLY by way of DNS.Once I get email fixed on this box it works for a day and next thing you know it's all messed up again. Somehow etc/localdomains and etc/remotedomains either vanish or get over written plus a bunch of other things including permissions.All I know is this is getting ridiculous.I don't want any sort of email system on this box. I want all my email to go though DNS only to another server. We already have on service that we use for Exchange, so all the MX Records point to that server, but email still has to interact with this server first, which I don't want it to.

Email Server Monitoring
My company has been having some issues with our email periodically but our host provides no help other than a graph showing the amount of daily relays. Does anyone know of a good email server montior or diagnostic solution that works with MailEnable? Preferably something free or cheap. I basically want to be able to get in and see what emails were sent and received from who and the IPs if possible. I don't care about seeing the content of peoples emails but just a report similar to a telephone bill would surely help.

Monitoring PHP Scripts That Send Email
Is anyone aware of any good tools or tips that I can use to monitor use of qmail/sendmail to generate and send email messages from PHP scripts on a web server? I want to keep a check on sites that are sending email from the site, to make sure they are not being exploited and result in our server getting blacklisted by big service providers. I'd love a tool that would automatically block messages from an account after a certain threshold is hit. I'm running a Plesk 8.1.1 & 8.2.0 server configuration..

Backorder Systems
i know maybe it is wrong for this topic to be here, but i am going to focus on my question in technically . my question is " how backorder systems work? " . i dont want description of them, i know they check the domain over and over and register it as soon as be available. what i mean is what system they do to check the availability of domain better ? public whois database's are caching and not return the realtime result. so what they do ? do they contact directly to internic whois servers ? or they use "whois" linux command? anybody know what they do to get realtime domain check?

Small UPS Systems
We are currently building out our new server room and are currently unsure which UPS system to purchase. Does any one have any experience with either the APC Symmetra LX or Liebert Nfinity systems? We require ~8kva. Both units appear to be very similar in specs and both allow expandability.

Using (NFS) Network File Systems
I sharing File system using NFS between 2 mailservers running postfix on CentOS 5.2.The mail servers shares the base mail directory of virtual users e.g. /home/vmail. It appears to run fine since last couple of months,just requires feedback if anybody already tried sharing mail directories between 2 or more mail servers. Or is there any alternate solution for sharing data between servers?

Cache Systems For Apache In Windows
I have a fair ammount of load on the server, and I want to cache as much as possible to reduce disk IO. The harddrive is a major bottleneck for performance. The server serve a lot of files larger than 10MB, so I want to cache as much of the files below 10mb as possible. First off I want to cache around 200k thumbnail files, where around 1000 new gets added every day. Secondly it would be preferred to cache dynamic files in a way that the file timestamp is checked at a regular interval, and then read again if timestamp has changed. Is there any free solutions on windows with apache for this?

Millennium Data Systems' Dedicated Servers
to ask about this offer (millenniumdata dot com/BUSINESS/Business-Default.asp?include=Business-Dedicated-Servers.asp) I found. They have live chat support so i talked with someone and what he did say me is: servers come with Fedora and whole LAMP environment installed, you can SSH to the server, and install VNC, you have full ADMIN rights to install anything you wish, servers are not managed (he said that they are Managed in the sense that they are monitoring PING POWER and PIPE), they can Re-image to default for free, no setup fee, month to month payment. I didn't use any dedicated server, I only used shared hosting. What I planed is to move my OpenX (former names OpenAds and phpAdsNew) installation to this server for now to see who is that working. I think that server is capable to run it, since it is currently run on shared hosting.

Free Email - Lot Of Space And Email Boxes Involved
One of my customers asked me if is possible technically to offer free email services. Since he's going to launch a big portal he want to offer such things later, for all users. Now, there are problems as: a) if there is any possibility to compress emails similar with GMAIL or YahooMail or so, because i can't imagine the email is uncompressed b) how can be handled email boxes over multiple (mail ?) servers if the HDD space needed would be larger than for one server HDD ?

Best Monitoring Application?
Best monitoring application? We need a good (best?) network/hardware monitoring application for monitoring our servers located at 3 different datacenters and around 50 servers.. I've founded some programs but they don't cover my needs 100% Basicly I need these; - Adding servers easily. - Adding monitoring channel for each servers. (load, network, disk/ram usage etc..) - Adding users and attaching users to servers seperately. (For example I will add justify user and attach him to server1, will add wht user and attach him the server2 and their permissions will be different and they will have no control on other's servers.) - Web based controller for users/admins - I want to install it to my windows/linux servers and monitor all remotely.. - SMS / mms / msn / email / icq notifications. - Ability to post/get notification.

Bandwidth Monitoring ...
Give me 1000GB or 2000GB and that's my limit that I'll try and not go over. Pretty simple. However, I'm now dealing with a provider that has me really confused. This company is charging us based on 95th percentile and we're now being asked to commit to 8.5 MBPS while the server doesn't even go over 1500GB monthly bandwidth limit. Is this correct: - We're not using tons of bandwidth but we do have large bursts - The company is ultimately charging you for the bursts

VPS Monitoring
to monitor our VPS's customers, not our up time but our VPS customer sites resource usage. Maybe a mixture between TOP/PS and WHM|Server Status|Apache Status Summarized by domain in a period of time. Our VPS is going blackzone many times/day and I need to find in real time the actual offending site or application. I need something that tell me in plain english: - Site XXX is taking all your VPS resources - Application XXX is just bombing your VPS - Close port XXX because your're under hacking

Gameserver Monitoring
I'm trying to do up a gameserver monitoring script whereby, I'm able to check if a particular game service is up or down. In this example, I'm trying to check if the port 7777 is up (Unreal Tournament server). PHP Code: <?php$server = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx";$fp = fsockopen("$server",7777,$errno,$errstr,30); if ($fp) { $fplist = green; } else { fclose($fp); $fplist = red; }?>Colour is <?php echo $fplist; ?> I've tried this on an actual UT server which is currently online, but for some reason, it keeps on giving me red (to signify a down service).

Monitoring And Troubleshooting
I am on a freebsd semi managed dedicated server (semi managed in that they dont really do out lol i just dont have root access, ssh though) unsing DirectAdmin I need to find a way where i can monitor the processes that each account is using. In the Service Monitor its showing all the services thats running for example, at present httpd is showing this: httpd httpd (pid 96703 96702 96700 96698 96697 96696 96695 96694 96693 96692 96691 96690 96689 96688 96687 96686 96685 96684 96683 96682 96662 )I need to find more info about each of the pid's as i would like to know who is using what. does that make sense? The other day (above httpd is normal) there was at least 10 times that amount and the server was dead slow, but i could not find any information as to who was using what and what cause the server to die.... I also have a customer that usually uses about 400mb to 500mb bandwidth per day, since the 28th of march this has gone sky high to nearly 2gb, he says he does not have any attachments fro download, nothing new has been added and no extra traffic, yet this has happened, this is why i need to find more info about such things, I have had a look at the logs but again, i do not really understand what any of it means... i read this somewhere, but i dont think it works on my server... Quote: Look at the PID of the process using the most resources. Then use "ls -alh /proc/PID". Ya'll get something like: root@server02 [/]# ls -alh /proc/10231 total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 3 nobody nobody 0 Jan 17 15:35 ./ dr-xr-xr-x 144 root root 0 Dec 29 09:48 ../ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 cmdline -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 cpu lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 cwd -> /home/USERNAME/public_html/ -r-------- 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 environ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 exe -> /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd* dr-x------ 2 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 fd/ -r-------- 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 maps -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 mem -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 mounts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 root -> // -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 stat -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 statm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 17 15:35 status The cwd -> will tell you what folder is being accessed. That should let you know what user. You can also from SSH on Cpanel boxes use something like "lynx localhost/whm-server-status" to see connections to specific URLs.

Email Issue: Local Users Can Not Email Each Other
I am having an email issue and I can not resolve. I am hoping for some assisstance here. One of my local clients are not able to email each other in their office. (About 10 employess I believe) They are using Outlook mail client, and using ISP's SMTP server. They are able to send/recieve email to other users externally, but not intenally. Using webmail works perfectly fine. I spoke with my host and the said everything is working fine. I checked with the ISP to see if they are blocking the IP address on the SMTP server. They said they were not. I have a personal account on the same server and tried to send email to another local email account, and it did not work either. Tried to send email to my clients email and they did not recieve anything. I am on the same ISP as my client, so Im still not sure if its the ISP or not.

Email Piping Returns A Bounced Email
I setup mail piping with Exim so that e-mails sent to a specific account be forwarded to my PHP script. It's not working properly, because when I send a mail to this account, it's bounced by the mailer daemon: Code: This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: pipe to |/home/user/public_html/support/parse.php generated by support@mydomain.com local delivery failed In my /etc/valiases/domain.com file I have: Code: support@mydomain.com: "|/home/user/public_html/support/parse.php" *: :blackhole: What can be causing the error?
