nolageek Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 We're looking for a lightweight server status app that could monitor mulitple servers across several datacenters. I've looked at nagios (too complicated,) status2k (not sure how it handles 15+ servers,) bartleby (possibility) and a few others... just wondering what others are using. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenglai Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Try Servers Alive. Its cheap and easy to configure. It has dev kits to make your own checks as well. http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/ Jerel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonc Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 We use IpMonitor, it's really flexable, and can be used for monitoring and automating just about anything you can think up. It's really nice, used to be cheaper though before it was sold to solarwinds. Jon C. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickendippers Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 They were doing a free reseller account offer a while back, that's finished now and it didn't actually come with any monitors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplybe Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Nagios is excellent once configured. Also maybe worth a look http://www.siteuptime.com/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrahn Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi, There can only be one. Zenoss is the monitor program for me. Here are some screenshots And the best part, it is opensource. Ronald. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanseahost Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi there, Have you install Zenoss on a Cpanel server that has CSF ? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrahn Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi there, Have you install Zenoss on a Cpanel server that has CSF ? Thanks No. I rented a cheap vps and installed zenoss on that. Still in the configuring fase The auto-discovery is awesome by the way. Ronald. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrahn Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 We use zabbix If you like Zabbix then i suggest you really should try out Zenoss. Ronald. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerett Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Zenoss is a great product and I would recommend it as well for the OP to try out since it is opensource and a bit less complicated than Nagios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Out of interest, how much RAM does Zenoss use for a basic install? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrahn Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Out of interest, how much RAM does Zenoss use for a basic install? Hi, It is not so much the footprint of zenoss that is the deciding factor in this but rather the amount of devices you want to monitor and what kind of monitoring. Please read http://lists.zenoss.org/pipermail/zenoss-users/2007/005012.html But i have run zenoss with 256 Mb P4 with 5 devices to monitor without a problem.

Daniel Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 That's interesting. I've just tried to install it on a spare VPS with 256MB of RAM and it failed due to not having enough memory. Guess i'll upgrade it and see if that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I've no idea how you're running it on 256mb of RAM, I've just got it working on a better spec'd VPS and its using 751mb.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstorman Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I've no idea how you're running it on 256mb of RAM, I've just got it working on a better spec'd VPS and its using 751mb.. I have this running on VMware, using 256MB of RAM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nnyan Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I tried to get Zenoss installed on a CentOS 5 VPS (plenty of memory) and I ran into a ton of issues. I worked my way through most of them one by one but at the end I still had a few that were deal breakers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vs-hs Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 http://pingdom.com/ <= really great and cheap service for monitoring servers. Really accurate 1-minute checking! It can also generate public reports that you can show your clients. There's also an API so you can fetch data to your website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HostBizLng Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Hello, I was thinking about choosing server/site monitoring solution and visited wikipedia to see if they have comparison articles, and sure enough I found them. Very helpful for those who want to know the options that are available, compare them, read about them, and finally decide which option suits better to particular needs that our businesses might have. A short comparison between the most common network monitoring systems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_network_monitoring_systems A short comparison between the most common website monitoring tools: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_website_monitoring_tools Sincerely, Serg Edited May 21, 2009 by HostBizLng 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
