Nagios is very valuable when you're recovering from a disaster. Just keep doing things until it all turns green! It's just like refactoring.
- dogweather 13y agoI'm a little skeptical of it; it seems very complex. In contrast, I'm leveraging the Ruby+RSpec infrastructure which I've already learned. And I interact with it via programming, instead of via configuration. Also, by using just one language, Ruby, I can easily have full test coverage of the framework code itself. There are a lot of nagios plugins and scripts out there, but they don't seem to usually include tests of themselves. But nagios is very intriguing - I'll check out what a "simple" install would be like.
- talkingquickly 13y agoFor smaller apps is worth looking at Monit, really simple to setup and covers most of what needs testing if configured correctly.
- thejosh 13y agoNagios is great, it's not just "is this host up?", but also SSL checking, module checks for CMS's.. :)
- sandfox 13y agonagios is awful :-), active checks are ultimately a dead end. Heartbeat style stuff is where it's at. You should definately check out sensu and riemann, (or hevean forbid if you really like node.js everything Godot) http://sensuapp.org/ http://sensuapp.org/ http://riemann.io/ http://riemann.io/ https://github.com/nodejitsu/godot https://github.com/nodejitsu/godot
