Monit

[MicCo]

I'll think we shall have som kind of Whatchdog in ispCP, and if possible, Monit will be a good choise.

What monit can do !!
Monit can start a process if it does not run, restart a process if it does not respond and stop a process if it uses to much resources. You can use monit to monitor files, directories and devices for changes, such as timestamp changes, checksum changes or size changes. You can also monitor remote hosts; monit can ping a remote host and can check TCP/IP port connections and server protocols. Monit is controlled via an easy to use control file based on a free-format, token-oriented syntax. Monit logs to syslog or to its own log file and notifies you about error conditions and recovery status via customizable alert.

So with an toolpage it will be possible to colect the log into ispCP.
Nice to recive an e-mail at your mobil when somthing go wrong on your server(s), e.g
1. Alarm You, what is wrong
2. Inform You, that the problem is solved
3. Inform You, that the service is up and running again.

So, guys, what do You think, please comment, maybe You even have an better suggestion.

nice idea MicCo. And i think a must have for our lovely ispCP.
It seems to be still under development (last update was on Feb 19).

but maybe, with a look at the future of ispCP, why dont use nagios.

Me too - monitoring at least the most important things would be a good thing.

On my (now old) Plesk system there is also a monitoring. But the service that stopped irregularly was the qmail thing, so I didn't get the warnings that qmail isn't working anymore...
Now a cron job checks qmail for me :-)
