What is your real concern eh ? sound a bit excessive worring to me,
maybe you are walking the wrong way...
Walking the wrong way?
On my personal webserver, I know exactly who is logging in... I
created their accounts. I see when they log in when I check the
webserver logs... I'm simply curious what monitoring tools are out
there for Linux based webservers beyond the most primitive - which is
the logfile itself, and maybe... apachetop. Are there any real-time
GUI based web access monitoring tools available?
The webserver gets blasted by people looking for primarily php
exploits, although I see probes for my cgi-bin, ruby, MySQL and a few
others. None of which are installed/available on this webserver. I
also see random attempts from unknown IPs to log into the secured
area. I'm interested in seeing this stuff when it happens... not 2 or
3 days later when I happen to remember to look at the logs.
This has to be information that web admins are interested in... and
they must monitor it somehow... but since I'm not a web admin, I don't
know how it's done (beyond browsing weblogs)... thus the question. I
have this private webserver that I can play with under controlled
conditions. I own the hardware and the information on the
webserver... I figure it's a good opportunity to learn something.
