Server Monitoring

Philemon_2 — Thu, 07 May 2009 12:51:22 GMT

Hi,

I have nearly 100 Linux RHL servers; I will be monitoring all the servers through connection to ILO on each server one by one

It is taking long of time to monitor all the servers daily one by one

I just wanted to know which is the best way to monitor all the servers with out installing any third party tool. My only concern is there should not be any cost impact. Any script or any other way.

Please help me.

Thanks,
Philemon

I wonder why all the people asking linux related questions in hp-ux forum these days ...

However, HP SIM could be the solution for you.

Nagios, although it is a 3rd product, yet it is free, can be downloaded from nagios.org.

Don't forget collectl - http://collectl.sourceforge.net/. It has all the features of sar+top+vmstat+ a whole lot more! It's lightweight and can monitor 100s of performance counters every 10 seconds at about 0.2% of the CPU.

It is a little embarrassing I don't exactly how many counters it can monitor because I wrote it, but since it captures device level details for CPUs, disks and networks, not to mention slabs and processes it is really does depend on individual system configurations.
