Monit is by far your best bet. Easy to install, packaged on most distros and it performs reactive monitoring as opposed to most traditional monitoring systems like Nagios. Plus you can open up a web interface if you want to allow for easy browsing of monitored processes.
EDIT:
I liked it so much (and it was so easy) that I wrote a blog post expounding how much I liked it and how to use it. http://moduscreate.com/monit-easy-monitoring/ http://moduscreate.com/monit-easy-monitoring/
- hauk 13y agoAs one of the guys behind Monit, thanks for that! We're about to improve Monit further by adding realtime (ms resolution) scheduling and monitoring (libev or libuv) which we hope will make Monit even more useful.
- knappe 13y agoThank you for writing such a quality piece of software! You have a huge fan.
- munimkazia 13y agoHey.. We use monit and mmonit on all our servers for a lot of varied services, and it is truly a life saver! I only wish the web console for mmonit was a little more detailed and showed more system information. It is also sometimes helpful to see a graph of memory, cpu usage, and server response time over the time axis to see the current system load.
