Apache and Nginx web servers both expose a very nice interface for polling the web server status via HTTP, providing you with useful counters for statistics and up-time.

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

POSTED ON: September 5, 2012 POSTED BY Dan Fruehauf

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.

Monitis Monitor Manager Raw Commands Explained

POSTED ON: June 27, 2012 POSTED BY Dan Fruehauf

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.
