Ask HN: What do you use to monitor your server clusters?
So, my co-worker and I have been developing a tool in our free time that monitors our servers at work. Most of the existing solutions that we tried were either low quality or did not meet our exact needs.
What services or tools do you currently use to monitor your servers? I'm talking about CPU usage, memory usage, etc.
- cpt1138 16y agoMy servers are all Linode's and they provide an iPhone app that looks like it uses RRDTool for graphs
- zoowar 16y agoPlenty of FOSS solutions. For example nagios and munin.
- benologist 16y agoI have a very simple service on each of my servers that writes out various performance metrics every few seconds to a text file which I can then pull into graphs. Eventually I plan to add automatic notifications when things go above or below certain levels.
- triviatise 16y agowe use newrelic
- ConceitedCode 16y agoI use server density. Great service and worth the price. Lets you monitor almost anything and if they dont have a script to monitor what you want then you can create it in a few lines of python. The iPhone and Andriod apps are fantastic and the main reason I went with them.
- arn 16y agoI also use server density and have been happy with them. iPhone push notifications are nice. Integrates with pager duty.
- trusko 16y agoWe used Nagios and now switched to use Zabbix.
- donw 16y agoAt the last company I managed, we did a side-by-side comparison between CloudKick and Scout, and ultimately went with Scout. It's not perfect, and not very extensible, but it had the singular advantage of being very reliable.
- HerraBRE 16y agoI wrote and use this: http://yamon.klaki.net/ http://yamon.klaki.net/ I wanted something as minimal as possible which still knew how to do dependencies. It's mostly a black-box monitoring tool, but it has a white-box component as well and can dump info to rrdtool for graphing history. I'm pretty happy with it. It lacks documentation though. :-)
