Monitis and M3 at Velocity 2012

POSTED ON: July 9, 2012 POSTED BY Dan Fruehauf

Velocity 2012


Last week I was honored to be invited to the famous Velocity 2012 conference in Santa Clara California, hosted by O’Reilly. Monitis was one of the silver sponsors. It was a great opportunity for me to meet the wonderful team I’ve been working with for the last year.
Velocity is all about web and cloud computing. A truly great place to learn about new technologies and keep up with bleeding edge developments.

Getting to the Monitis booth I must admit I was slightly disappointed to find out there was no demonstration of any Custom Monitors capabilities.
Custom Monitors when tailored as turnkey solutions are truly a very important aspect of monitoring server and application uptime.
Enough talking, lets get some work done.

Monitis Monitor Manager Raw Commands Explained

POSTED ON: June 27, 2012 POSTED BY Dan Fruehauf

M3 (or its newer version which you should be using – M3v3) can do pretty much. However it can’t do anything.
M3 is good at timing execution of commands, apply simple parsing and upload the data to Monitis. Allowing you as the SysAdmin (and end-user of M3) to easily shape and design Custom Monitors for your system improving overall system uptime and stability.
Many times this is indeed what happens when trying to monitor different applications. The simple process of ‘Execution -> Parsing -> Reporting’ gets the job done. What happens when it doesn’t?
Well, I’ll tell you what happens – you are left a bit puzzled and think you’ll have to implement the Custom Monitors API which Monitis provide. True – until not long ago.
M3v3 bring you ‘Raw Commands’ capability in its last version.

Shared Pages under custom domains

POSTED ON: April 11, 2012 POSTED BY zhirayr

Every now and then we all have the need to share monitoring results with our clients, co-workers, partners, website visitors or other interested parties.

One of the most powerful features in Monitis is the ability to publish user-selected dashboards via a publicly accessible URL. This feature can be used to create customized real-time reporting pages that can be shared between multiple stakeholders without the need for log-in processes or additional accounts to be created. There are numerous ways in which this feature can be utilised, however these will be discussed in a separate post.

We have recently enhanced this feature by enabling our customers to publish these pages under their own domain. Monitis users can not only customize the URL, but can also change the logo on the shared page – creating a fully-branded page.

Our custom domain service delivers several benefits to end-users:

Low overhead and reliable CPU/memory monitoring using Monitis Custom Monitors

POSTED ON: April 3, 2012 POSTED BY Dan Fruehauf

M3 – The Custom Monitors Swiss Toolmonitis m3

M3 has been around for a while, receiving numerous improvements on the way. We can gladly announce it as a mature infrastructure now for server monitoring, together with Monitis. M3 lets you, the end user, easily configure checks and upload the data to Monitis.
And this time – we’ll survey some of the recent additions to M3 together with a nice little example that will measure CPU and memory.

M3 compute / post process plugins

Many times when collecting raw monitoring data, some post processing has to be done, to “beautify” it.
M3 support these type of plugins in the ‘Compute‘ directory.
The README on github provides a description for these plugins, however I decided it is in place to truly explain one of the examples.
Lets have a look at the Math.pm example.

Monitis Monitoring Strategies- Start Small and Go Big! (Part 2)

POSTED ON: March 13, 2012 POSTED BY Joe Kern

In part one of the Monitis Monitoring Strategies we covered a simple approach to begin monitoring, in this article (Part 2), we will begin to examine the details of Low Cost External monitoring.


 

 

  • Uptime Monitoring
  • Basic Performance Monitoring
  • Detailed Reporting


Uptime Monitoring is often the first solution to current downtime or the risk of downtime.  This could be called “Hard Downtime”.  Hard Downtime can be described by no response from the site, server, port, or service.  This type of down time often does not come with hip error pages, or the ever popular “under construction” pages with goofy images of road construction.
