Monitor Active Directory with VBScript on Monitis

POSTED ON: April 12, 2012 POSTED BY Hovhannes Avoyan

Using scripting and the Custom Monitor functionality in Monitis you can monitor not only system metrics but also how other resources are used.

To give an example we’ll use a scenario that involves an Active Directory security group used to grant access to a color printer on your print server. In your organization you may have several administrators and you want to maintain control on how resource access is granted. One way to establish this is to monitor he number of users in the security group and set up an alert when a user is added or removed from the monitored group.

Gathering Diagnostics from Windows Azure

POSTED ON: April 6, 2012 POSTED BY zhirayr

All systems require a degree of monitoring. We monitor on premise installations for usage, performance, outages, tracing, and for a multitude of other reasons. Services which are deployed on premise operate in a controlled environment. The organisation’s IT team is very much aware of what systems are running on the organisation’s servers. It is an environment which can be managed by the organisation’s own IT team. On the contrary cloud environments tend to be disruptive by nature. Thus in cloud environments monitoring is crucial.

In this article we will walk through the steps required to :

  • configure a Windows Azure application  for the gathering of data for diagnostic purposes;
  • configure the application to persist the gathered data in a Windows Azure Storage Account;
  • read the data and post to your Monitis Account.

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

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.

Bandwidth monitoring with ntop & Monitis

POSTED ON: March 12, 2012 POSTED BY Dan Fruehauf

ntop bandwidth monitor


ntop is a very simple yet powerful bandwidth monitor which outputs various statistics counters in RRD.
RRD – Round Robin Database – is a very handy framework for saving server performance counters in a ring buffer.
We can say that if we would like to graph network performance, ntop does most of the hard work for us and all we have left to do is to graph the counters.
Among the counters ntop exposes there are:

  • Total bytes per interface
  • Total HTTP, DHCP, DNS, NetBIOS bytes per interface
  • Interface throughput
  • IGMP, ARP statistics

And speaking of graphing, we have Monitis, which can graph any counter we can think of. I have an idea – lets graph ntop data with Monitis!
