Tools To Monitor Server Uptime
Jun 4, 2007Are there any tools out there that can monitor the uptime of my server (of my websites)?
Maybe an application that keeps pinging it throughout the day or some type of web-service?
Are there any tools out there that can monitor the uptime of my server (of my websites)?

Is there any script or program that can ping or load a page from a server on a regular basis to check if the server is still running?
For example using a shared hosting server B to ping dedicated server A to see if A is still running. Else B will send a email to the sys admin. Something along this line.
Pingdom vs Others - Monitoring Uptime Tools
So i looking to buy a quality and reliable uptime monitoring service. I have been testing PingDom free trial, and all the reports went fine. Also the interface is good looking and as public reports to show to clients.
So in terms of use and fuctions, Pingdom is perfect for me, but i wanted to know if Pingdom is a quality / rock-solid / reliable service? Or its just has a beutiful interface?
Any bad or good experiences with Pingdom?
Note: From many other posts i see that Alertra is a quality and reliable service.
So when comparing to PingDom will Alertra be much more reliable?
I see a lot of web hosts that link to webhostingstuff.com which tracks the uptime of their main page. i would like to offer a similar service, where i track and list the uptime of hosts. can anyone point me in the proper direction for this? is there a particular script that I can purchase? how is this done?

given the recent paid-switch of host-tracker, i want to monitor some websites myself.
I've a fairly reliable dedicated server (2007 : 12 minutes downtime so far checked every minute), so i'd like to monitor from this server some websites shared-hosted elsewhere, (just 1 server is not optimal, but the chance of both being unavailable at the same time should be minimal).
I'm wondering if someone could be so kind to suggest me some pre-made scripts /software suitable for my needs, basically i need just something that monitors my website and send me emails when goes down, and when it's back.
Uptime calculation would be great, but not mandatory.
I saw a few website monitor service but I can't find it anymore.
(i only have 1 website to monitor) and allow email notification.
Are there any good tutorials or tools for Serer Hardening on CentOS?
Additionally, any good Host based IDS units along those lines?
When using domaintools.com to see what sites are on a server, sometimes it says dedicated server. Does this mean that there may be several sites on that server and it is just that the domaintools.com service cannot find out what the others are?

I would prefer third party services rather than installing something on the servers unless its the only option

View 2 Replies View RelatedLots of things have improved in the last 5 or so years with regards to hosting.. faster hardware, improved control panels, cheaper bandwidth.. but the ability to keep your eye on your box whilst out and about is definitely amongst them I'd say.
So share your tech tips for when you're not at your desktop for monitoring your sites.
Key hardware: My iPhone. 3G is prevalent in my locality, but the deal on o2 means I also get free access to the two largest UK public wifi hotspots - TheCloud and BT OpenZone. Whilst some of these are free anyway (such as ones in pubs) being able to walk through town whilst on a wifi connection can be really useful if the 3G is lagging or just not there.
Software:
Pingdom - It's not the flashiest of all apps, but it tells you what you need to know - is the server up?! It'll echo all your reports for all servers into one quick and easy screen. I really hope Pingdom puts even more time and effort into this, it could make the service unbeatable with a few more features. The app is free too, which is a bonus.
TouchTerm - there's a bunch of SSH clients for the iPhone out there, I've not had chance to try any of the others but will do at some point. All my accounts are bookmarked in and I can replicate whatever I need to with ease. I've installed software and configured it with relative ease just using the touch keypad. It was either free or at most a dollar or two.
iStat - The software/server combination used to be Mac only but someone has ported the server side over to *nix now and it runs pretty well. I'm having issues with one of my boxes showing it's bandwidth usage but I'll look more into that. Live CPU/Memory figures AND graphing?! Very impressive, and if you're doing face to face with your client it's bound to be a good thing to show off (make sure it's working first tho!!). It was £1.19/$1.99 on promotion when I bought it, should still be for a little more.
Critical email accounts IMAP'd - all my key accounts are on 15minute checks, and I'll be making an emergency PUSH account for when time is very much of the essence. Having instant access to email is absolutely essential on a handheld device these days, and the iPhone does a pretty neat job of it.
EverNote - great note syncing between various boxes. No more having to ring people to jump on my laptop to read me out an IP address or similar ever again.
I've got a housed server within my customer's datacenter. I consider application runs ok, but it goes very slow.
I consider it's due to their connection (DSL) and installed another provisional server with a simple "Hello World" and no traffic. I'm to install the same server within another datacenter, and would like to find an external tool to certify connectivity times.
Do you know any of these tools? I'm not searching tools like 'Apache AB' or 'HP httperf', but public online services.
My server show the error:
The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume DeviceHarddiskVolume1.
The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:.
I have requested them to add another disk and copy the data
With which utility can try to repair the disk
I've paid for a site to do some harding of my new server and I'm not up to speed with it all yet.[url]
They say they've completed it but I can not find any config files for mod_dosevasive in my httpd.conf file. Is there a way I can check to see what packages or software or tools are installed on the server?

I am getting increasing frustrated each day as I went from shared server to shared server and now I'm on a VPS and my server is typically down 2-5% per day. Is this normal? Is it to much to expect 99% uptime?

Would you rather have your site hosted on a server that goes down frequently, but with support that is constantly monitoring it, and resolves all of your issues in a timely fashion?

Would you rather have your site hosted on a very reliable server, but when a problem does arise, support is either not knowledgeable enough, or is incredibly slow at fixing the problem?

Right now my business is hosted on Hostgator. The files and database are not 100% protected if a hard drive crashes. I Found www.mosso.com and they take all my hosting problems of 100% uptime and backups away, but they also create a few because I don't get command line access to a server.
We use GIT to manage the upgrade and development process of the application, so we need command line access.
My question to you is:
How do you handle this backup issue?
If I can take my focus off of making sure there is 100% uptime and backups if something crashes automatically, I can grow my business much faster.
I've been trying to find a decent and reasonably priced website/server monitoring service that alerts me by SMS and email if something goes down. I have 3 HTTP addresses and one HTTPS I'd like to check in 5 minute intervals.
Have you had any good experiences with services like this?
Is there a good service for tracking server uptime (and therefore, downtime)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes 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?

What VPS should I need for backup dns bind and nagios for monitoring (ram, bandwidth etc..) ?
And from where should I choose?
I've recently found (last 6 weeks) that the performance of my client's websites on my trusted host's servers isn't how it used to be and/or how it should be. The download seems to take way much longer than before. So far it hasn't resulted in a significant drop in average pageviews per unique visitor but it might do if things continue. The host claims a number of attacks on the mailserver and an unusually high load at one point in time. Above all it's just annoying - isn't reliable server performance what can be expected from a reputable host?
Here's the question: what's the best way of monitoring online how the web and mail servers are performing so that I can take this report to my host and urge them to take (more) action? Ideally I'd like to compare this with a seperate web server that I use for another client. I don't mind spending a little bit of money but high subscription fees are not in my budget.
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?
