Re: [U2] Monitoring a U2 server?
Ditto to what Jeff said. Nagios is extremely flexible. I use it to monitor everything from user count, CPU usage, and partition space on the UV server to fan, temperature, and power supply status on Cisco routers and HP switches. Nagios is free and there are a whole host of free, custom-made plugins available for monitoring a wide array of devices. You can also alert different people via various means depending on the specific service being monitored and the severity of the problem. Eg: if a server is down, you might want a page or SMS message 24x7, but if new Windows server updates are available, you might just want an email once a week during business hours. If you run Nagios on CentOS (also free), the only investment is your time. These links are a good starting point: http://www.nagios.org/ http://exchange.nagios.org/ Go here for installation instructions specific to CentOS: http://docs.cslabs.clarkson.edu/wiki/Install_Nagios_on_CentOS_5 There is a free add-on available called Pnp4Nagios that can produce nice graphs on the fly of things like disk space and CPU usage over various time periods: http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/start And my favorite free add-on is a tool called NagVis that produces a real-time graphical map of your entire network: http://www.nagvis.org/ Healthy devices are green, ones with warning-level problems are yellow, and anything critical is red. I use a Window 7 active desktop gadget to keep it visible at all times. It also produces a buzzer sound through the PC speakers when something goes critical. -John -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Schasny Sent: Friday, April 13, 2012 10:19 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Monitoring a U2 server?
