Comments: 8 Server Monitoring With munin And monit On Debian Wheezy In this article I will describe how you can monitor your Debian Wheezy server with munin and monit. munin produces nifty little graphics about nearly every aspect of your server without much configuration, whereas monit checks the availability of services like Apache, MySQL, Postfix and takes the appropriate action such as a restart if it finds a service is not behaving as expected. The combination of the two gives you full monitoring: graphics that lets you recognize current or upcoming problems, and a watchdog that ensures the availability of the monitored services.

Monitoring Linux And Unix Server Temperatures With Opsview
Author: Opsview • Tags: monitoring • Comments: 0Monitoring Linux And Unix Server Temperatures With Opsview Managing power consumption in a Datacenter is a key factor in helping keep overall business energy costs down and ensuring servers are running at optimum performance. Overheating can lead to increased costs for cooling and also runs the risk of servers crashing. Opsview server monitoring software can be used to check and alert on server temperature and also the temperature of individual components within a server (Memory, CPU and Hard drives). Thresholds and alerts can be set for when critical temperatures are exceeded, helping to keep hot-running servers in check. This blog post details how to configure Opsview to monitor the temperature of Linux and Unix servers.

Comments: 3 How To Simulate Network Devices Using SNMP Simulator This tutorial explains how you can simulate network devices for testing purposes with the free Verax SNMP Simulator. Verax SNMP agent simulator is a tool that can simulate multiple SNMPv1/v2c agents on a single host on standard 161 port through multi-netting. It allows IT personnel to build virtual, simulated networks of devices without purchasing any additional hardware, for instance for testing purposes. Individual simulated agent responses can be initially retrieved from existing devices and modified at runtime by user defined rules.
