http://netvouz.com/falko/tag/monitoring?feed=rss&pg=1 falko's bookmarks tagged "monitoring" on Netvouz http://www.howtoforge.com/network-monitoring-appliance My ambition was to implement a small (better tiny) appliance for monitoring network health and network resources, short and longtime trends, running under VMware Server or VMware ESX. So I had an eye upon all components which are implemented on the system, to be as leightweight as possible. This was also the reason why no SQL DBMS based software was used. The appliance is based on Ubuntu Jeos LTS (8.04.3 at the time of this writing). Almost all used components are from the related repositories. This tutorial shows how the appliance was implemented. falko Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:39:04 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/intrusion_detection_snort_base_postgresql_ubuntu6.06 This tutorial describes how you can install and configure the Snort IDS (intrusion detection system) and BASE (Basic Analysis and Security Engine) on an Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) system. With the help of Snort and BASE, you can monitor your system - with BASE you can perform analysis of intrusions that Snort has detected on your network. Snort will use a PostgreSQL database to store/log the data it gathers. falko Fri, 27 Apr 2007 08:20:41 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/mailgraph_pflogsumm_debian_etch This article describes how you can monitor your Postfix mailserver with the tools Mailgraph and pflogsumm. Mailgraph creates daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly graphs of sent, received, bounced, and rejected emails and also of spam and viruses, if SpamAssassin and ClamAV are integrated into Postfix (e.g. using amavisd-new). These graphs can be accessed with a browser, whereas pflogsumm (Postfix Log Entry Summarizer) can be used to send reports of Postfix activity per email. falko Thu, 28 Jun 2007 10:18:54 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix-monitoring-with-mailgraph-and-pflogsumm-on-debian-lenny This article describes how you can monitor your Postfix mailserver with the tools Mailgraph and pflogsumm.

The combination of the two gives you full monitoring: graphics that let you recognize current or upcoming problems (like "We need a bigger server soon, our load average is increasing rapidly."), and a watchdog that ensures the availability of the monitored services. falko Tue, 15 May 2007 09:24:18 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/server-monitoring-with-munin-and-monit-on-debian-lenny In this article I will describe how you can monitor your Debian Lenny server with munin and monit. 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, whereas monit checks the availability of services like Apache, MySQL, Postfix and takes the appropriate action such as a restart if it finds a service is not behaving as expected.
