How to monitor (almost) anything with Monitis M3 – My very personal use case

free-website-monitoringWelcome M3

Among the many hats I wear, I also wear a DevOps/SysAdmin hat in Lacoon Security.
When I was invited to custom tailor the monitoring solution for Lacoon Security, I didn’t even hesitate and recommended to use Monitis and M3.
Partly because I wrote M3 but mainly because I think it is a really good solution.
Lacoon Security implements a security service for mobile devices, based on the cloud.
Lacoon’s monitoring needs were rather complex, however, nothing Monitis & M3 could not achieve. Here is the proof.

Monitis Monitor Manager Raw Commands Explained

free-website-monitoringIncentive for raw commands

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.

Monitoring Redis Database with Monitis

Among other NoSQL databases there is a particularly nice one called REDIS.

It’s an open source and advanced key-value store database. What is meant by ‘advanced’ here? Redis keys can contain
strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets on which you can run atomic operations. It also works with an in-memory dataset, supports master slave replication and is equally useful for tiny projects running on a single VPS as it is for huge services running across dozens of servers.
But we are not going to discuss the features of Redis here, because those are already well covered in many other articles, every day.

The aim of this article is show you how it is possible to monitor a Redis server with Monitis.
For that purpose we will install a small cluster of 3 nodes (1 master & 2 slaves).
Of course, there is no need to install the whole cluster to show how to monitor Redis, but it is interesting, isn’t it?
