Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations on server monitoring, reporting,
notification toolkit(s). Something to run as a cron job and let me know if
my drive is filling up, CPU has been running at 100% for days on end,
there's no RAM left and you could fry bacon on the HDD because of all the
swapping, that kind of thing. I'm starting to get too many servers to
worry
about and I don't want to log in to each of them every day to check on
things ... I'm lazy :)
If you are lazy you might want to take a look at pingdom:
http://www.pingdom.com/
Though, you can't run it as a cron job since this is a SaaS
application. Definitely it's not as full-featured as
monitoring tools such as Nagios but it's a pretty decent
tool. I also love the fact that Pingdom monitors your server
or web applications from multiple locations on the internet,
great to avoid some specific problems on your ISP for instance.
They offer a very basic free account with one check:

They also have a totally free service called GIGRIB:
