Server Monitoring With munin And monit On Mandriva 2010.0

Tags: mandriva, monitoring •
Comments: 0 Server Monitoring With munin And monit On Mandriva 2010.0 In this article I will describe how you can monitor your Mandriva 2010.0 server with munin and monit. munin produces nifty little graphics about nearly every aspect of your server (load average, memory usage, CPU usage, MySQL throughput, eth0 traffic, etc.) 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 (like "We need a bigger server soon, our load average is increasing rapidly."), and a watchdog that ensures the availability of the monitored services.

Comments: 0 Trafficanalysis Using Debian Lenny By using my Network Monitoring Appliance we noticed a link in MRTG always under heavy load. On this link a lot of different traffic aggregates, so we decided to analyze of what quantities of protocols and therefore applications the cumulative traffic consists.

Network Monitoring Appliance
Author: gbi •
Tags: lighttpd, monitoring, ubuntu •
Comments: 9 Network Monitoring Appliance My ambition was to implement a small (better tiny) appliance for monitoring network health and network resources, short and longtime trends, running under VMware Server or VMware ESX. So I had an eye upon all components which are implemented on the system, to be as leightweight as possible. This was also the reason why no SQL DBMS based software was used. The appliance is based on Ubuntu Jeos LTS (8.04.3 at the time of this writing). Almost all used components are from the related repositories. This tutorial shows how the appliance was implemented.

Monitoring Multiple Log Files At A Time With MultiTail On Debian Lenny
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: debian, monitoring •
Comments: 0 Monitoring Multiple Log Files At A Time With MultiTail On Debian Lenny MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch to that file. That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files. Merging of two or even more log files is possible.

Configure OpenNMS Step By Step
Author: saad khan • Tags: monitoring • Comments: 10Network Management With OpenNMS OpenNMS is an opensource enterprise network management tool. It helps network administrators to monitor critical services on remote machines and collects the information of remote nodes by using SNMP. OpenNMS has a very active community, where you can register yourself to discuss your problems. Normally openNMS installation and configuration takes time, but I have tried to cover the installation and configuration part in a few steps.

Simple Bash Script To Monitor Your Webserver Remotely On Different Ports
Author: marchost • Tags: linux, monitoring, programming • Comments: 2Simple Bash Script To Monitor Your Webserver Remotely On Different Ports Simple bash script to monitor a webserver on different ports (here smtp, dns, http & https but it can be customized); I'm sure there are over 100 available programs doing this but I wanted something with small memory usage. Also, I only wanted to be notified once, notifications are received by SMS on my cell. With the software I was using before, I was getting notified every minute until I could reach a computer and fix the problem or stop monitoring which was quite annoying.
