Does anyone know a good open source and free webmonitoring software which I can use to monitor some websites and build simple uptime/downtine statistics for my customers (conform SLA's) ? Any help/hitns would be very apperciated :) -- Michiel

A bit off topic, but I keep looking for an answer to this question and coming up with nothing... so I thought I would go to the gurus. :-) Can anyone recommend a good package for pinging other devices and sending an email/alert when they go down? I'm aware of all kinds of more complex things with GUIs and a zillion other bells and whistles we aren't looking for, but we just want a simple

Hi, Trying to follow the recipe at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Cacti_on_CentOS_4.x Which has a bit of an update for 5.x, but no joy. Anyone know what this from Cacti should suggest? Data Query Debug Information + Running data query [9]. + Found type = '6 '[script query]. + Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/script_server/host_cpu.xml' + XML file parsed

Hi folks, I'm just wondering what is the recommended way of monitoring servers and networks remotely. My current setup is to install and configure cacti and nagios. I've set these up to require SSL. This way, I can easily go to them and login from wherever I am and monitor (almost) everything I need to monitor. The problem is that leaving cacti open was the most stupid thing I've

hi, I have a dedicated server with several services running: ssh, ftp, httpd (with several sites andactive domains), the mail server (dovecot, postfix), dns. I'd like to monitor all of these services in a graphical, easy, setting of thresholds and alerts via email. I would also like that if a customer wanted to see the graphs I could create codes read-only. there is one or more software

Monit 4.9, Mongrel 1.0.1, Rails 1.2.6, Mac OS X 10.4.11 (PPC) I don''t know whether this is a mongrel issue or a monit issue. I''m trying to poke my way around a system set up by someone else. I have no more experience w/ mongrel that local Rails dev at this point, and a conceptual understanding of how monit is working. I have the Deploying Rails beta book, and I''m

Hi, I've not found the answer to this question anywhere - please forgive me if I overlooked. I'd like to be able to be automatically alerted if process limits are hit (e.g. max POP3 logins). Is there a way that I can configure a script to be run, in the same way that I can with quota warnings? I can of course use logwatch, but this alerts me the next day, and logwatch can be noisy

I''m still tinkering, moving over code from CFE to Puppet in a test environment. One item I did with CfE was manage services. If something wasn''t running, it was restarted. Puppet''s service integration makes this easy. The flip side, is how do you guarantee Puppet''s running? I pulled some tricks with CfE to ensure it was always running. I made CfE a direct

I have a website that is running Mongrel that is CONSTANTLY going down. There seems to be no rhyme or reason... There must be something in the way the site was written. Is there a recommended Mongrel monitoring tool that will monitor our sites mongrel services and restart mongrel when the site goes down? The server is a UNIX machine... Thanks!!

Does anyone have any recommendations for network monitoring systems that work with CentOS 3 or 4? thanks

I just used Nick Mae's well written HOWTO on setting up Cacti on CentOS 4.xto setup Cacti on my CentOS 5.1 system : http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Cacti_on_CentOS_4.x I was hoping to add a page or section for CentOS 5.x with the modifications I'm including below.

Hi List Members, i understand that perhaps i should not ask this question here. But you all are technical. Therefor, has anyone ever monitor the VPN traffic using any open source tools such as Zabbix/Nagios/Cacti? or any other Thanks

I installed CentOS 7 late last year to use as my Nagios/Cacti Monitoring server. Clean install, nothing real complicated just the server version with no GUI, just command line/SSH. I have noticed over the last 3 months that I've not had ANY updates when I run 'yum update'. I have run 'yum clean all' to see if that might be a problem, and I've made sure the updates repo

Hi all, Been using Cacti for monitoring various things like, system disk/mem/ proc, network usage, router usage etc... While its been fun, the graphs are just unruly. Was looking an OpsView (the free version), wondering what your experience with this type of trend/heuristic analysis has been and what what you like. And of course thoughts on OpsView. - aurf

On the module organization wiki, we''re got the following statement: To control access to the files in modules, the fileserver configuration can contain an explicit declaration of a ``modules`` module:: ... however, I thought the fileserver couldn''t define module or any section that is in the module paths. Has anyone tried this? And if it doesn''t work, is there

Hello all, We have a slight issue to resolve. We have a client who we are drafting an SLA for the delivery of telephony services using Asterisk. Nothing extraordinary. However, we do need a way to measure our service availability. We currently use Nagios and Cacti to monitor server availability as well as asterisk and mysql responsiveness, and last, "ping" availability to our

I have this configuration: class monit { # Installing packages. package { "monit": ensure => latest; } file { "/etc/default/monit": owner => "root", group => "root", mode => "0644", source => "puppet:///monit/etc/default/monit", } file { "/etc/monit/monitrc": owner => "root", group =>
