Author: csnetworks • Tags: linux, other, monitoring • Comments: 0Configure Monit To Send SMS Instead Of Email This tutorial helps you configure monit to send alert messages using SMS to your mobile phone when a service fails instead of traditional email notification.

Server Monitoring With munin And monit On Debian Squeeze
Author: falko •
Tags: debian, monitoring •
Comments: 0 Server Monitoring With munin And monit On Debian Squeeze In this article I will describe how you can monitor your Debian Squeeze 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, and a watchdog that ensures the availability of the monitored services.

Comments: 0 Icinga Configuration For Nginx On Debian Wheezy/Ubuntu 11.10 Icinga is an enterprise grade open source monitoring system which keeps watch over networks and any conceivable network resource, notifies the user of errors and recoveries and generates performance data for reporting. It is a fork of Nagios.
