In the past i've read up on software capable of restarting services that go down. I was wondering what the best free option is right now. I've got three dedicated centos boxes that I need to monitor. I don't need to monitor them all from one place, but would like something that can identify processes such as httpd, mysql, and mydns, then restart them if necessary.
View 2 RepliesI need a script that check the service sql, php-pfm and nginx if working fine and if is start. So if is stop, the script do automatic restart the service.
i have cron a restart each houar of php but same time, in the houar of much visits of my sites php crash and stop..
I need a simple basic server monitoring software that will do usual ports (ping, httpd, pop3, ssl, etc) and also notify me via sms (or email) of high server load (cpanel/whm).
I need something that is NOT nagios (ugly, too complex to setup), zenoss (cannot figure out what on earth to do to setup simple port monitoring, but nice interface).
Must be for linux with mysql 5 / php 5 compatible.
What are the parameters, other than the tcp services(http,smtp,ping,dns,mysql), would you monitor on a server/vps to ensure its smooth running(free mem,disk usage,user_beancounter etc...)? if any, what is the monitoring tool/and the plugin that you use?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having a bit of trouble with one cron job that doesn't seem to work.
I have others scripts that run hourly fine. However this one does not.
The script:
restart_monitoring.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
service iptables stop
service iptables start
/root/bandwidth_rules.sh
/root/portforward_config.sh
exit
The two scripts at the end just load a lot of iptables rules back in.
The cron job should run hourly (59th minute)
The cron job entry
Code:
59 * * * * /root/restart_monitoring.sh
I have restart crond to enable the new job, still doesn't run.
The job is to restart iptables, thus flushing all rules that I have running, then reloading them. I have figured out the problem to be with the "service iptables stop/start" command, it doesn't seem to like doing this...?
Is there any way to start plesk services automatically?
As my plesk control panel needs to be restarted every day..
if you use a site monitoring service (or two) do you need to setup monitors for each website/domain on your VPS or can you just monitor the primary services on the VPS?
Pluses/Minuses for either way?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to monitor my application to make sure it is 24x7 uptime, if there is anything interrupt, I will be notified by email/SMS right away. There are several web monitoring service, but they all monitor ports, not application. I have bad experience, like, althoguh the web server is alive, but the application is already dead.
So, I want to monitor application instead of monitor a port. Anybody knows where I may find this kind of service?

I have a 20U rack space and i use 4U of this space (1U + 2U servers and a 1U switch).
There is a 20Mbit internet connection on a 100Mbit network.
But here comes my problem, some friends have there servers in my rack space to, There is 12 servers that are my friends and i want to know how much traffic they use.
I want to know how many GB traffic they use to i can charge them (they don't pay right now).
2 of my friends servers must max take 50gb traffic!
Is there a switch that can do theys two things?
Show traffic and limit traffic?

I just setup my own LAMP server.
It is only used for my own domains so I want to be able to watch all mail that gets sent from my server, via php or otherwise.
Basically I just want to be able to personally monitor what mail is getting sent from my server so that I can watch for possible spammer activity.
I am using postfix and webmin.. I have sendmail installed to, but I don't think it is getting used..
I guess theres got to be a log somwhere... but I am not sure where it is?
I have postfix set to CC me of all mail that gets sent but, it doesnt seem to work all the time.. just for certain things..
We have a few customers who have multiple C classes with us and we are wondering how most of you monitor for blacklisting.
We currently randomly pick a few IPS and check them once a month but this is not very thorough. We were wondering if there is a program out there that can check say a /20 automatically once a month or atleast something we can initiate an automated check once a month with?
I am wondering what services it is best to monitor with Nagios which I've installed on my Centos 5.3 VPS. I wish to monitor and understand all essential services of the VPS itself at this stage but, generally, to make the best possible use of Nagios as an analytical tool as well as basic monitoring notifications, etc.
I already have a rough idea based on the main services being run. But I imagine there may be more to this than meets the eye, in particular, in view of any potential performance cost, etc.
I am especially keen to obtain as detailed a picture as possible concerning performance related criteria with a mind to indicating possible improvements that could be made.

We don't know the exact cause but our Addhandler line in .htaccess gets keep commented by someone or something and include file (footer) does not show up from time to time. I was told cpanel update inserts the comment but I am not sure.

2. If it gets modified, how can I get notification?

View 1 Replies View Relatedwe've got our new machine up and running smoothly. It's a core2duo running CentOS with Plesk 8.3. We have 2 drives in a RAID 1 configuration for reliability sake, and I'm looking for something to help me monitor the status of the disks in the array. Since RAID is pretty useless unless you know if one of the disks has died.
Is there some open source utility that will monitor this and email me if something is wrong? Perhaps something with a nice web interface?
Even better... is there some addon to plesk that will help with this?
