I've noticed some people are starting to set up monitoring networks for all of their VPS's.
What do you guys use for monitoring your VPS's and what do you host it on?
Toying with openstatus but I think I keep messing something up and the uptime field is blank. Right now I host it on one of the vps but I'm going to end up hosting it on my shared hosting server.
The above post has likely been edited by excessively proactive moderators. CatalystHost now supports vpsBoard for transparent administration.
At risk of repeating myself from other threads, I use Zabbix. I have a dedicated server set up with it on. I plan on allowing free accounts once I finish setting up a self service portal in PHP. If anyone wants a free account, let me know. I'll have to add the hosts manually, but you'll have access to the monitoring dashboard and email alerts.
@jarland said: Pingdom is extremely accurate. Until it isn't.
I have zero faith in it. I don't know how many tickets I get with people that depend on pingdom and claiming I was down when there was no issue. Occasionally pingdom gets lucky with a correct down report, but they are rare.

External Monitoring: BinaryCanary (waiting for our new server for a custom monitoring script) and scrd+status+munin (results).
Internal Monitoring: scrd+status+munin (results), custom monitoring script, and Observium.
Yes, OSS, WIR :) I originally write it ~6 years ago for internal use. I thought I'd clean it up a bit for public use, but the "clean up" turned into a rewrite.
Meanwhile, guess who monitors for tcp connections with no data, and eventually blocks for an hour? I'm guessing WHT comes up again around 15:14 NDT :)

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksJust a thought... "monitoring" is different things....
You can monitor availability, e.g., port 80 on server xyz, and track its status over time (as a % uptime/downtime).
Or you can monitor performance, e.g., load, memory, swap, and track those variables over time.
Some apps do one, others do the other, I guess some do both :)
So when you say "monitor" you need to think about what it is you're concerned about monitoring....
