Monitoring RHIE Servers using Monitor.us online tool

As an alternative solution to Nagios,Monitor.us is used to monitor RHIE servers stored at NDC by sending alerts in case of system/process failure.

Monitoring will be covering disk space,application process and system downtime(To be added when ping will enabled on servers).

    tar -zxf monitorus-agent-linux-32bit.tar.gz
    Start it by using this command:

     

    cd monitis

    ./ monitor.sh conf
