monitoring

For some time now I've had an idea regarding a web project. Recently I decided to stop pondering and just give it a go. Since I already have some previous FreeBSD experience (got a ZFS NAS at home) and also have some Wordpress knowledge, this is what I basically ended up with: A cheap 5$...

I’ve been working hard on ‪fractal cells, creating the All-In-One solution for software development startups. With fractal cells, you can easily transform a stock FreeBSD server into a fractal cells production environment. The hardware requirements are simple: You can run it on a VPS as small...

Hello all, Not entirely sure where to put this thread. I've got a VPS at DigitalOcean with FreeBSD 10.2 on it that I use for my wife's business site and my own personal site. However, someone has asked me to develop a site for them and host it. I used to be a web designer, and I still code...

What tools are you using to collect system metrics? I am asking about IO throughput, temperature, disk space used, etc. I want to have the pretty graphs too. To be clear, I'm not asking about monitoring tools, such as Nagios, which I'm already using.

What is recommended way to monitor ZFS Health and Status? I am shamelessly using knowledge transfer from FreeNAS to FreeBSD to configure S.M.A.R.T daemon. However I don't see ZFSd on 10.0.3 TrueOS. However running zpool status -x seems rather impractical. Is there a collectd plug in for...

Hey all, I´ve been rather jealous over those very fancy reporting graphs[1] included in FreeNAS got me reading this[2] article that explains how to set that up manually. That information is priceless in times when your system just feels wrong, but you´re not exactly sure why. Those graphs can...

I'm running 9.1-RELEASE and just installed Nagios because Zabbix has a bug and won't work correctly with my new version of PHP. I'm new to Nagios but not to FreeBSD, all my production stuff runs FreeBSD. Nagios is running fine except for two problems that are driving me crazy. First off, it is...

Hello everyone, I have been playing with both FreeBSD and FreeNAS for a while now. My question is, what is the application used in FreeNAS that lets you see the system visually? I like the fact that I can see my CPU/RAM report as well as what resources my jails are using. Is this something that...

The situation is as follows: there is a server for multiple services. Services put in jail (for example: monitoring zabbix). In jails, gray addresses and a separate interface for them, and internal networks. The main interface uses "white" ip address, but it is not so important. It is...

I already have a big Nagios installation. Now there's need for something simple. It should be able to ping something (SNMP would be a plus), record and archive results, send alerts, and it should be configurable right from the web interface (managing monitored hosts). I'd appreciate if anyone...

I am attempting to set up a monitoring solution using zabbix. Im primarily a windows admin, so my BSD knowledge is a little rusty. Anyway is there en equivilent to typeperf -qx > counters.txt command? Anything to list any performance counters. Thanks Jason

I'm looking for a basic tool to monitor bandwidth on my machine so i can effectively set up altq. I remember using ntop of pfsense but it used to crash every 2-3 minutes...any thoughts? all i really need is a graph showing my bandwidth throughout the day.
