Re: Suggestions for remote server monitoring
What software would people recommend for remotely monitoring a server? I'm not talking about intrustion detection and whatnot, just keeping an eye on things like CPU load, memory, bandwidth usage, etc. Bonus points if it uses something like RRD--graphs and charts are not just pretty eyecandy for me. If you want to monitor resources on a remote system, try cacti. It has great graphing capability using RRD. One of my favorite features is being able to highlight a section of your graph and have it draw a new graph to zoom in on the area of concern. -- John Barton [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

It has a webpage admin interface that's pretty informative. The only thing I think it doesn't do is monitor bandwidth for you; that would require a different program. If you have access to the data, it isn't hard to extend Nagios to handle custom monitoring tasks. Just write a script that returns a status code and some text. We have been using it for several servers at work for a while with good success. Likewise. Regards, Upayavira -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

[OT] Debian package differences from upstream
[ Is debian-mentors the proper list for this type of packaging question? ] On my Woody box, courier-mta logs pop transactions with the tag courierpop3login:. The logs of other courier users (freebsd, gentoo for example) have the string pop3d: It has been suggested that this is a change the Debian packager made. How can I verify this? I've done apt-get source and poked around a bit but could not tell where the Debian patches made to upstream live.

From the diff, I see the courier-pop init script was rewritten for Debian. The custom version script starts courierpop3login directly instead of pop3d, and syslog tags log entries accordingly. Got it, thanks! Regards, Mark
