What Do You Monitor
May 28, 2009if 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?

how is this done best?
I was thinking of somekind of switch or server set inbetween the servers and the internet monitoring and keeping data on the traffic use etc.
but what do you do?
and how to make such a monitor redundant so if it fails the network is not cut off from the world?
Does any one know a bandwidth monitor that shows me stats and which programs or Ports and or Servers are using bandwidth and how much they are using in real time?

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?

And from where should I choose?
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.

View 14 Replies View RelatedWe have a website that uses php include. It is specified in .htaccess to parse all html file to parse for php so php include can be executed.
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.
My question is:
1. How can I prevent this from happening?
2. If it gets modified, how can I get notification?
I 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..
uptime monitor service for my shared hosting account to:
Monitor http and if possible https
Sent text message to UK Mobile
Send email to me
Send email to hosting company
Considering a web site could be completely useless without its web forms working as expected, and the uptime reports do not verify them at all, I would like to know if you people, consider it important.
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?
Since upgrading to Apache 2 I am no longer able to tell which domains are the busiest using CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage. Now Apache processes are all lumped together and individual domains only show cron, mail and FTP usage. I opened a ticket with cPanel and they know of the problem but there is still no solution. Is there another way I can tell which of my sites is using the most resources until this bug is fixed?

I have an MSWIN 2003 hosting server with 350 working domains.
The problem is that I receive hundreds of failures of emails that get sent from my server..to some random email addresses.
I try to find a way to locate the website with the script, that spams but logs dont help at all.
The mail server is Mail Enable.
The messaged I get back wont help either..
they are something like this:

If I try to search or grep all the files hosted in the server that include some word like "Account Details" it will not find anything...
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 will be setting up a LAN at home where there will be a few PCs connected to the network.
My idea is that I will have linux box where I will route all the traffic through to monitor it. I was wondering what would be a free solution to go "hardcore" on this. When I mean hardcore, I really mean hardcore. I want stats, packet shaper etc.. It would be a learning process for me too. The only thing is that alot of solutions out there are more enterprise and expensive.
Anyone here use or know a good solution? I was told I could use m0nowall on freeBSD. Another thing I was looking at would be Squid. But to be honest I'm not sure.
Whats a good free software that can do this? Perhaps something really cheap if there is a cost involved.

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.
