Monitoring tool

[oscmejia]

Hi,

I'm looking for a tool I can use to minitor a remote server.
Basically I would like to monitor CPU, memory, services, connections, problems, etc.
I'm running an application on a Fedora Core 7. My application is Flex in the front-end and php and web services at the back-end. DB: MySQL

I'm using "MySQL administrator" to monitor my DB, it works great!!!

thanks in advance!

Hi oscmejia

I have two suggestions:

1.- You can use Nagios, you can also have e-mail/SMS notifications via it. There is a Fedora section on the site Quick Install section.

2.- Also, you can use MRTG and SNMP duo for basic monitoring like CPU, Memory, connections. You can have a look at the SystemMonitoring section of the howtos on the mrtg site.

All of them have Fedora packages, so you can easily install them.

I would suggest you to check www.zenoss.com wich is a monitoring tool; you would require
Python 2.3.5 or 2.4
mysql 5.0.x

This tool allows you to monitor not only your server, but entire networks, CPU, memory, services, etc.

It uses SNMP so you should be familiar with the protocol
