I run Nagios on a separate slice to monitor services and hosts. http://www.nagios.org/
deprec installs and configures logrotate. It also installs monit but the generated config only monitors mongrel - that's the service that tends to cause problems. In my experience, Apache is about as likely to crash as linux is. I'm happy with external monitoring of the apache process and email/sms if it fails. Basic security things. Have you disabled password based auth to your ssh? Do some research on host based firewalls using netfilter and iptables. There are lots of tutorials and scripts online that you can experiment with. hope this helps, - Mike On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 8:45 AM, Xavier Shay <xavier-l...@rhnh.net> wrote: > > Both this and passenger-stack are great, but miss out on what for me is > quite important because I don't know much about it: > > "monitoring, log rotation, basic security things (firewall? *waves > > hands*)" > > using the below recipe or passenger-stack, if apache/mysql dies, I won't > get an email? > or do you use external monitoring? > > I did look a bit more at heroku and it will be awesome for one of my > apps I think, just a bit concerned that they'll unveil pricing and my > holiday fund will dissappear. > > Mike Bailey wrote: >> http://deprec.failmode.com/documentation/ >> >> cd your_rails_app >> depify . >> # Edit config/deploy.rb >> cap deprec:rails:install_stack >> >> # WARNING!
