Downtime monitoring?

BlackStorm · Post #1 (**permalink**) 10-13-2003, 07:28 AM

Do you have a monitor running on your website?
What service do you use?
Has it helped you much?Is it free or premium?

Im using a downtime monitor but it doesnt help me much anyway, I normally find out about the problem either before i get the warning email or even before i get it..

I know a lot find it very useful and helpful though

There is a monitor called umm Uptime Monitor or System Uptime or somethign.. not too sure on the name... I used it before but it seemed to not work accuratly for myself.. so I personally wouldnt use that but maybe it might work for you?

Rahul, I think I know how I can get some type of uptime and load averages displayed on your website.. It would look something like this:
Uptime for tsunami.pierhosting.com (FreeBSD): is 4:56PM up 1 day, 7:45, 1 user, load averages: 0.27, 0.17, 0.07

If this is something you would want, let me know and I'll see about how to get it on there, I'm pretty sure I can find out relatively easy.

Hi Gordy

I want something like a table where it would show the HTTP, APACHE, SQL, POP3 and so on status and beside it there would be a GREEN light if everything is ok but there would be a RED light if something is not working....basically the exact same thing from your WHM control panel.

Please let me know.

Thanks

Actually.. I think I MIGHT know how to do this myself.. let me try something and if it works, I will post you a link on how to do it.

If you need any help understanding it, give me a shout but I think you will have no troubles.. not too complicated at all.

Thanks

No problem.. that is the only way I can think of doing it for now.. if I find a better way to do it, I will let you know.. all you do is open a socket to the port, if it connects then its online, if not it is offline.
