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?
View 9 RepliesI recently discovered the magic of Tuangou / group buying after a short stay in China. It made me wonder why this efficient method of purchasing things has yet to be popularised in the Western world. (See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuangou for more information.)
I think that this is quite interesting when you look at the economics of server resources, in particular online data storage. I have been looking for around 100GB of cheap, reliable FTP space for a while now, but it seems that truly cheap storage is only available if you have terabytes of data to store. This has always prevented me from storing my data in 'the cloud'.
However, if the Tuangou principles are applied to this situation a lot of cheap storage could be realised so long as there were enough people to cover the yearly cost.
Which moves me on to the crux of my post...
As a home user or small business owner, would you be willing to wait longer for an online storage service to be provisioned and pay in advance if there were significant cost savings to be had?
(By significant cost savings I mean cheaper than Amazon's S3.)
I'm currently looking to set up a company offering just this, but do not wish to enter the market until I can substantiate my own views and until I can be sure that my target market does not solely consist of me.
I have a Sonicwall NSA 3500. Does anyone know if you can use it to create bandwidth charts of Network Objects (e.g. IPs or Groups of IPs)?
I am thinking something like Cacti, but I don't know the code to pull that info or if it's even technically possible.
to setup a Traffic Monitoring + Services Monitoring for my Co-Lo box. Does anyone have any recommendations as to software that can do this. I like the interface for Lithium and how it has a Mac OS X Client so I can monitor Services and all that right from my Laptop.
The question being though, is I was thinking of setting it up on another server now since lithium requires root install, is there any services out there that offer Lithium accounts of some sort, or would my best option be to go with a Virtual Server on another host.
Right now I have a Colo box running Cent OS with HyperVM and a Virtual Box running on it. So technically I could setup my own virtual box and run it from there but that doesn't help much if the box goes down.
Does anyone else have any other recommendations for Bandwidth, Apache, Mail, Ping, ect..
Can you please tell me any free server/ services monitoring tools available.
I would prefer third party services rather than installing something on the servers unless its the only option
Does websites uptime monotoring tools and services like for example: pindom, siteuptime or host-tracker can in any way affect the server or vps performance of the website being monitor.
I think that a Monitor service that do a test every 30 minutes dont cause any inpact, but if the interval on check test is every 1 minute.
Can this every minute check affect in any way the performance of a server or vps?
i have a main server that is connected online & now live with a static IP address. at the local network, i have 6 other PCs running apache that is connected to the main server.
since i can only effort for 1 IP now, how can i have the local connected servers to be viewable from the internet as well like some normal web URLs?
Plz show me some software which monitor bandwidth for each website used.

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
I have 1 network interface with a few virtual ones. I need to find a way to monitor bandwidth. I've tried vnstat but it can't measure bandwidth with virtual interfaces.
The only thing i've seen is through packet sniffing and i was hoping for a much cheaper alternative(cpu wise).
What you guys use to monitor and/or cap bandwidth for dedi/colo customers?

I'm looking for an economical way of doing this, not through System Center. we're looking to provision a few Windows virtual environments over the next few weeks and want to see if there is an alternative to Parallels Virtuozzo.

I have a small VPS that is running only openVPN. (No http/pop/ftp/imap/smtp...) Only one port is open for the openVPN software.
I've also disabled (not running) any other networking software, so there is no apache or anything "normal" like that.
It's a plain-jane CentOS 5.3 install, used only for openVPN.
The problem is that I have no idea how much bandwidth is being used.
Since the openVPN does not track bandwidth usage, I am now looking for some other way to do it...
I am thinking that perhaps munin or cacti or something like that would be a solution?
Basically, the only statistic I need to actually monitor is bandwidth, as I don't care about disk space, load, memory, or anything else..
(The server is using VirtualVM, but since that software is insecure... the VPS control panel is not currently online, so all the normal "tools" that the VPS came with are not working.)
I found a software that i think it is useful for bandwidth monitoring for each website (each domain). It is LiveBandwidth version 2.0 .
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have been using webmin's bandwidth monitoring function for a while but (as anyone who's ever used it) i have a few issues:
3 huge (~250MB and growing) log files: /var/log/bandwidth, kern.log and syslog.
also the 'dmesg' only outputs these log messages:

I installed syslog-ng in hopes that i could change this behaviour but to no avail. the real problem i see is that shorewall/iptables only logs to "kern" facility...
has anyone found a way arround this? maybe even using some other firewall?
It is possible to monitor bandwidth per IP instead of per port using Cacti?
I have been told no, but if no, how can you possibly monitor bandwidth per VPS on a host server?
I am not too used to working with having to monitoring bandwidth through windows itself, but the provider doesn't provide graphs from the switch.
I tried installing MRTG on windows but got tired after trying for two hours. I really just need a program that can monitor the bandwidth and calculate the 95% usage but I cannot seem to find that anywhere!
I have a few boxes on a special setup in a rack that I want to monitor bandwidth usage on for a while. There really isn't a way at the moment to do it switch level. Some of the servers have cPanel, some are just straight Linux (CentOS). I have seen where you can setup iptables to measure/monitor bandwidth, any other easy and effective suggestions for doing this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis one should be easy for all the dedicated experts here in WHT. I have a dedicated server that I use for streaming and would like to monitor how much bandwidth I use (on a daily basis).
Windows Media Services would be the application that uses considerable bandwidth. So may be a plug in for that? I am looking for something free.
I currently use debian and have multiple (5+) ip address all assigned for a different purpose and usage. My issue is that i need the ability to accurately monitor the traffic being generated (and potentially graph via mrtg) additionally, I want the ability to enforce priority and restrictions per ip address.
Whilst on the subject I also have an openvpn setup which i want the ability to rate limit each user....
spend too much time trying to figure this out so now i'm asking for some help! More than happy to consider offers ($) for someone to do it for me...
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...

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.
pop failed @ Thu May 1 00:38:11 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.
Its been happening from around 00:00 GMT 30th April/1st May.
All my servers are spamming me with these, not just one. All are set to auto update on STABLE build.
Anyone else having these issues?
cPanel and their nasty bug releases I suppose. Even after paying them a premium price and recognizing them as a premium control panel provider!
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 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 have seen some companies provide it - hostgator.com, razorservers.com, etc.
How much bandwidth/month can we expect with them ? I read several stories... someone wrote he was able to push only about 3TB and others can push 5TB - 9TB
So what's your experience?
I was wondering what the difference is between incoming and outgoing bandwidth. I noticed some server providers have these types of limitations.
Does incoming mean uploading and out going is downloading bandwidth usage?
