Hi advisors , I would some suggestions on using http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html .
My requirements is to use less systems daemon checks in nagios but concentrate more on business / application level checks . We have lots of daemons like below > 1. ) snmpd > 2.) ntp > 3.) SSH > 4.) crond > 5.) php-cgi > 6.) nginx > 7.) Postfix > 8.) wackamole > 9.) spread > 10.) atop > 11.) redis > 12.) taillog-dopa > 13.) taillog-user > 14.) rsyncd ... ETC. We use nagios checks + event-handlers in case of daemon failure . My views is to use daemontool to control all these daemons , and create a single nagios check which scans /service/ directory and alerts for daemons which are getting restarting in unwanted ways. Some of my friends will argue about daemontools being non-unixy and unconventional , But I had good experience with daemontools on around 3000 servers earlier in my previous organization . Please advice what you guys think about daemontools and its pros and crons .
