It's a client-server based solution for managing the usage of socalled Flexnet-enabled applications. You can hold licenses of more than one product on one license-server. As you typically have to buy licenses and licenses can be expensive it would be nice to have a monitoring solution to see the utilization of the precious licenses, whether they are underutilized or are always fully utilized which is also a waste of resources. As far as I know there are commercial applications for performing such reports, but again you have to spend money. Why not build a simple system yourself, which shows the actual and past usage in an "MRTG style"? falko Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:03:12 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/icinga-monitoring-solution-installation-and-configuration-on-centos Icinga is an enterprise grade open source monitoring system which keeps watch over networks and any conceivable network resource, notifies the user of errors and recoveries and generates performance data for reporting. Scalable and extensible, Icinga can monitor complex, large environments across dispersed locations. falko Fri, 21 Jan 2011 12:43:18 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/zabbix_network_monitoring_debian_etch Zabbix is a solution for monitoring applications, networks, and servers. With Zabbix, you can monitor multiple servers at a time, using a Zabbix server that comes with a web interface (that is used to configure Zabbix and holds the graphs of your systems) and Zabbix agents that are installed on the systems to be monitored. The Zabbix agents deliver the desired data to the Zabbix server. This tutorial shows how you can install the Zabbix server and agent on a Debian Etch system. falko Fri, 13 Jul 2007 10:10:25 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/intrusion-detection-with-snort-mysql-apache2-on-ubuntu-7.10 In this tutorial I will describe how to install and configure Snort (an intrusion detection system (IDS)) from source, BASE (Basic Analysis and Security Engine), MySQL, and Apache2 on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). Snort will assist you in monitoring your network and alert you about possible threats. Snort will output its log files to a MySQL database which BASE will use to display a graphical interface in a web browser. falko Wed, 21 Nov 2007 10:17:28 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/monitoring-multiple-systems-with-munin-debian-etch In this article I will describe how you can monitor multiple systems with munin. munin produces nifty little graphics about nearly every aspect of your server (load average, memory usage, CPU usage, MySQL throughput, eth0 traffic, etc.) without much configuration. I will install the munin client on all systems that are to be monitored (including the munin server itself); the munin clients will then report to the munin server. falko Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:23:57 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/monitoring_network_latency_smokeping_debian_etch This guide shows how to install and configure Smokeping on Debian Etch to monitor network latency. From the Smokeping web site: "SmokePing is a deluxe latency measurement tool. It can measure, store and display latency, latency distribution and packet loss. SmokePing uses RRDtool to maintain a longterm data-store and to draw pretty graphs, giving up to the minute information on the state of each network connection." falko Sun, 16 Sep 2007 11:03:07 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/monitoring-network-latency-with-smokeping-ubuntu-9.04 This guide shows how to install and configure Smokeping on Ubuntu 9.04 to monitor network latency. SmokePing is a deluxe latency measurement tool. It can measure, store and display latency, latency distribution and packet loss. SmokePing uses RRDtool to maintain a longterm data-store and to draw pretty graphs, giving up to the minute information on the state of each network connection. falko Thu, 16 Jul 2009 11:29:43 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/network-analysis-with-wireshark-on-ubuntu-9.10 Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer (or "packet sniffer") that can be used for network analysis, troubleshooting, software development, education, etc. This guide shows how to install and use it on an Ubuntu 9.10 desktop to analyze the traffic on the local network card. falko Sun, 21 Feb 2010 15:40:11 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/hyperic_hq_on_ubuntu704 This document describes how to set up Hyperic HQ on Ubuntu 7.04. The resulting system provides an awesome, web-based "Systems-Management-Software". It is the next stage of classical monitoring and able to manage all kinds of operating systems, web servers, application servers and database servers. falko Tue, 28 Aug 2007 10:34:13 GMT
