[opensuse] real time monitoring
Hello, Is there around a real time monitoring system for a small server? something that could send once in a while a mail with mdadm, and other diagnostic, of even give warning if some service fails? of course I could write a script myself, but others may already have done it :-) of course I know mrtg, but I mean some more basic, non interactive tool thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi AFAIK, you can set mdadm to send alerts, setup postfix as a relayhost and forward via gmail (if no email system), else snmp/snmptrap and sec (Simple Event Correlator).

works from scratch (inclugind sending mail if I add my adress), but only monitor the disks it's part of the solution, for sure :-) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Voice-of-Experience: a server monitoring itself is a bad idea and in practice will accomplish very little.
something that could send once in a while a mail with mdadm, and other diagnostic, of even give warning if some service fails?d
madadm has that functionality built in, and there is the standard log watching. Beyond that you want an NMS like ZenOSS on a separate server. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

My favourite monitor tool is xosview. It's currently being updated to work with the latest raid stuff (I need to go back and test the dev version again :-) When it's fixed (the maintainer doesn't or didn't do raid, and changes to raid broke it), I'd just set it up so the server runs xosview and displays it on your desktop. It has an awful lot of useful little monitors, eg disk space, cpu usage, system load, etc etc (and raid health once that's working :-) Cheers, Wol -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

mdadm already does this for you. That is what the line: MAILADDR youremail@somehost.com at the end of /etc/mdadm.conf is for. mdadm already monitors your array status (as reported by 'cat /proc/mdstat') and will alert you via e-mail in real-time on any array change. -- David C.

yes, already setup, but monitors only the raid array, not the system (memory, thermal...) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
