I don't think I would have considered using the paid service before, but this free account offers a compelling experience. I bet it'll pay off in conversions.
- AngryParsley 16y agoSounds like you set up the Cloudkick agent. If you really want to take advantage of the agent, try out some custom plugins (https://support.cloudkick.com/Agent/Custom_Plugins https://support.cloudkick.com/Agent/Custom_Plugins). We've cleaned up a few that we use internally and made them available at http://github.com/cloudkick/agent-plugins http://github.com/cloudkick/agent-plugins
- brandon 16y agoIndeed. I'm a Debian user, so it only took a minute to get the agent running which I appreciated a lot. It seems like the only piece missing is graphing and alerting on bandwidth usage with the agent. Linode provides a nice set of hypervisor-level views of IO/CPU/Bandwidth but they're really only useful historically and from a billing perspective. On second thought, this sounds like an awesome way to get familiar with the plugin interface ;)
- AngryParsley 16y agoThere's a bandwidth check type. Click on the monitor tab, then click on new monitor, then select Bandwidth in the check type drop-down. We don't support alerting on bandwidth usage yet, but that check will alert if the interface is down.
- elasticdog 16y agoAny way to build the agent from source? I run Arch Linux on my Linode and would love to try out the added functionality.
- AngryParsley 16y agoThe plan is to open source the agent in the near future.
