[gentoo-user] Monitoring and Management of servers
We've been working hard on adding features to our hosted infrastructure monitoring and management system. To give back to the open source community we now provide a completely free hosted version that includes the following features: - asset management - passive monitoring - software inventory - network configuration settings, including speed/duplex - performance monitoring - alerts and notifications - daemon/service control - server state control (reboot, shutdown, logoff) - historical changes (software, hardware, accounts) - calendaring of events - schedule tracking (cron) - dashboards - reporting (csv, pdf) - dynamic DNS - all communications authenticated and encrypted with digital certificates For those that may be interested, please send me an email and I will provide further details. Best regards, Frank
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Monitoring and Management of servers
Hello James,Our Versiera system is slightly different as it is not just a monitoring system, but includes remote management functions and is an Internet hosted application service (though an appliance is available that support SNMP 1/2/3). Our system uses agents that use digital certificates to encrypt and secure all traffic. We are working on adding full scheduling, software distribution, and automated documentation of an environment. We will be offering graphing in the 2.0 release when we bring online the ability to store and archive historical information. not just performance numbers. The system supports Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, and Windows. Hardware support includes IA-32, IA-64, PowerPC, and Sparc. The web intefrace is based on AJAX and provides such features as search suggestion. If you have time, have a look http(s)://www.versiera.com/. There is a complete feature list on http://www/netcraftcommunications.com/.Cheers,FrankOn 9/17/06, james [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Frank Pikelner frank.pikelner at gmail.com writes: We've been working hard on adding features to our hosted infrastructure monitoring and management system.

Best regards, FrankHello Framk,Have you compared your offering against JFFNMS feature by feature?JFFNMS is a total open source offering including supportfor SNMP 1/2/3 and is very extenable to new types of network attached devices of any make.Do you have an ebuild for your offering?http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=0chap=0 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_EbuildsVersion 8.3 of Jffnms has just been released, with manynew features, bug fixes and a stream-lined installation. Hopefully it'll appear soon in portage (bug 147991).James--gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hello Mike,It was not intended as spam, and we have actually worked very hard and put in considerable work to support/test many popular Linux distributions. I'm sorry if my post was not appropriate.Best regards, Frank PikelnerOn 4/5/06, Mike Owen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 4/5/06, Frank Pikelner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:NetCraft Communications Incorporated today announced the immediatesnip spamI can't believe Netcraft thinks that spamming mailing lists will get people interested in their product. If anything, I think it would havethe opposite effect. I for one am now quite annoyed with them, where Iwas merely ambivalent before.-- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Gentoo LiveCD 2006.0 not boot properly from USB
The Gentoo LiveCD 2006.0 does not work properly from a LiveCD that is installed in a USB-CDROM drive. During the boot the LiveCD is unable to locate its file system and dies. Using the same CD from a regular CDROM drive works properly. Frank -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] MySQL server hardware recommendation
I wanted to ask if anyone on the list is running a large MySQL database and for their server hardware recommendations. The servers are anticipated to have a DB of 10-20GB, with about 5000-1 clients (automated). The database will be mostly used for updates to the data making up most of the operations. We are considering using Dual AMD Opteron processors and at a minimum of about 4GB memory (PC2700 or PC3200 - not sure if the extra bandwidth will add much performace). One of the items I'm debating is the type of RAID controller to use that is well supported under Gentoo. I'm also contemplating whether to consider a SATA2 or a SCSI subsystem. Just as a side not, I've always wondered the type of hardware used by Google as they have been very successful in using smaller inexpensive boxes according to the rumors that have circulated on the Internet. Any vendor recommendations would also be welcome. Thank you, Frank
