Hello Omabele,
I am expected to monitor the uptime, throughput; server log files etc. Look for
& respond to abnormalities; manage benchmark, manage hosting usuage and check
websites for W3C compliance. (There is Linux, MySQL, Perl on all the servers).
Persoanlly, I'd start by breaking it all up into coherent chunks of
tasks. Then for each task I'd see if a tool already exists and use that.
There's likely modules related to the task at search.cpan.org you can
use to create new tools if none exist.
However, my boss just asked me for a flowchart / perl script to monitor the following:- -webserver, -Db server, -chat. Where do I start from... I have just 2 hrs to come up with the miracle solution
I would appreciate any advice..
Step one would be to reason with your boss that 2 hours is completely
unreasonable to make such a system, even if you'd personally designed
the network and new ever inch of it like the back of your hand.
If your boss still expects a two hour solution you have 2 options:
a) google for tools that do all of the stuff you need
b) tell your boss he's friggin' idiot and walk out :)
Step two is the process I outlined above. While perl can definately be
used to accomplish all of your goals, this list may not be the best
place to post a how-to question to since this list is to help people
with existing code they are struggling with.
