Hello, Can anyone suggest a good service or tool for monitoring the following on a webfaction server:
Also, I'd like to be able to have e-mails or text messages sent in the case the server goes down or exceeds a certain memory or processor threshold. Thanks in advance for your help. asked 18 Feb '11, 12:12 Josh |
I don't know of a single tool that will do all of that. You can get your RAM usage with the following command:
You can get your total CPU usage with:
If you want to be notified when either of those exceeds a certain value, then just write a script to do that for you and run that script via cron. Note that cron jobs can be run once per minute at most. If you want something to notify when your site goes down, then I recommend an external monitoring service such as Pingdom. If you want something that measures traffic and integrates with Google Analytics, that leaves me wondering why you wouldn't simply use Google Analytics itself. answered 18 Feb '11, 12:27 seanf Thanks Sean. Really I'd like to have an integrated solution. I have to imagine that many have such a need, no? Regarding GA, it doesn't have processor and memory usage. It would be good to have all the information that GA offers alongside the CPU and memory usage.
