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 and M3 at Velocity 2012

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.

Linux Series 1: Dedicated Linux server – Host your own

dedicated linux server hostingWelcome to a new article on “Linux Dedicated Hosting” and how to host your own web server. This will be an ongoing series with the end goal being hosting your own domain (www.yoursitehere.com) and allowing others the ability to buy server space from you and make a profit online. The first step is to get our server operating system up and running and configuring the needed tools and updates, I will be using Ubuntu Linux 10.10 as my “OS” and will be setting up a LAMP server which stands for “Linux, Apache HTTP server, MySQL, and PHP ” so we first open the terminal “Cntrl + Alt + T” or you can go to “Applications >Accessories >Terminal” either way is fine. Once we have the terminal open we type in:

sudo apt-get install tasksel lamp=server

enter our password for root and press enter. After our packages have downloaded in the terminal we type sudo tasksel (tasksel package provides a simple interface for users who want to configure their system to perform a specific task. This program is used during the installation process, but users can also use tasksel at any time.)  we choose LAMP server and enter.
