Simply Superb.....
I'm loving this service. I hope that beta accounts will be carried forward in some form.
Best part is that I can monitor my home VPS as well with no issue. It's a major plus to be able to keep an eye on their disk space easily.
I have already recommended it to friends with multiple VPS servers.
I haven't tried it out myself, but it looks amazing. Its pretty much as good as flat design can get.
Any reason why I am not getting ping monitoring happening? Works for all but one server, it's a cPanel box with CSF installed.
Is there a way I can debug it? I am able to ping the hosts listed in the script from the commandline so it seems to work at a system level.
Could you please make the Alert email optional? A setting somewhere would be nice. Thanks!
Could be a different output syntax and the agent script is not able to pull the values from it. Can you run one of the ping commands and send me said output?
Of course you can disable email alerts. Every server has a link called "Edit Server", just unset the notification settings there.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback so far.
Great tool, easy to use and the site looks really nice. What will be the price then, I have 9 servers for now but will have more, so the monitoring is really helpful and a must have. Thanks for your great work.
Its been doing good minus when it reports a server as down when its still going :-).
We already have emails going back and forth, and yes I have now done so.
I have also noted today that a server in Globalswitch Sydney is seeing similar pings to your Asian host as I get from the EU host. Mostly 328ms-333ms but have seen as high as 342ms. Route goes from Sydney via HK on NTT (179ms), then through some SLOW links to India. It's 248ms via my home ADSL connection, again via HK on iiNet, then the same slow links through to vsnl.net.in which seems to be providing the route into that host for me.
US host gets a solid 174ms ping all day. EU has not budged off 385/386ms all day either. Might be worth grabbing a Singapore-based box which should give better performance for everyone in that area.
server is on Los Angeles. and also other with 0.00 is on dallas.
This is awesome. Great web design too. Thanks for sharing. I gave it to our technical team. They're going to give it a swing and I'll let you know their feelings.
I added a wheel user and then attempted to reinstall the client on the VPS however it is stuck on Awaiting Data.
Is there something I am missing? It was working fine earlier and would like to get it back working again.
Please verify if the user
nodequeryexists and the cron job is properly configured. You can check by usingcrontab -u nodequery -l. You can also have a look at/etc/nodequery/nq-agent.logto see when the last interval was sent to our server.I will release an agent update tomorrow which will fix some minor issues for a few of our users. Please feel free to contact us by email or Twitter as well, I don't want to abuse LET for our support
Just sent you an email via your website contact form.
Joe has already given some users more than that. He has thanked you so I would have another look at your account or send him an email via the contact form along with your LET username so he knows which account to increase
I doubt that anyone thinks that way....
And hurry up with the update, I want to see if that cPanel ping RPM was the issue. I am not that happy with the latencies on that service, so the more data I have the better!
What's up? My mail just went berzerk.
Kinda surprised, no one reported it. (Over 1hr, 25mins)
Does this do ping monitoring or just whether or not it's up? This could be useful for something that I'm doing.
It does system monitoring (space, ram, cpu)
Oh
i get 47 emails about all my servers failing (20), i jump of the bed thinking was the end of the world!
At least it was not just me.. I thought our DNS servers had gone offline..
@dedicados @FLDataTeK @GaNi I am very sorry for the inconvenience this might have caused to you and everyone else.
It seems that yesterday at some point either the server network or the DNS failed. Because the server itself was running fine the notifications were queued correctly and sent as soon as the server was reachable again. We've now added an additional check to verify that our own network is not the cause of notifications.
Over the past few days we were also performing database maintenance to handle the increasing number of servers. This might have resulted in strange graph data and should be resolved now as well.
Thank you guys, I hope you will continue using our services.
Just upgraded to 0.74 - it seems to have fixed the 'no reported ping' issue on my cPanel server.
Thanks Joe.
@Joe_NQ
You don't need to be
It's a free and "beta" service which I guess, are viable to such conditions. Thanks for your services again.
Hey @Joe_NQ - great service!
Given its so lightweight, would be good to support busybox based Linux userlands (with bash package installed).
Two tweaks I needed to make to get it running on busybox. There's no useradd command, so for the install script:
type -p adduser && adduser -s /bin/false -S -h /etc/nodequery nodequeryThen for the agent script, the call to
free -bgreps for cache...I switched that to buffers (which exists on non-busybox versions of free too).@Joe_NQ
Github seems to be having certificate issues, I guess it would be good to pass "--no-check-certificate" with wget in the script?
PS: nocheckcertificate flag didn't work in the agent installer script.
Great, glad it is working now. I installed cPanel DNS on a test server and noticed it is changing the ping permissions. The new installation script resets those permissions.
Thank you. Just so you know, agent version 0.7.4 should fix the disk space error for long labels and volume groups.
I am aware of the GitHub issue, "--no-check-certificate" is indeed the only solution right now.
Awesome, thank you. I might include it in a manual installation guide for "unsupported" distributions.
