I'm using my handwritten hqmon monitoring system and qpage-based gate to paging provider. The system monitors: cisco routers ( is they up or down, cpu usage and amount of a free memory ), leased channels to my providers and downlinks, BGP sessions with providers ( all of those through SNMPv1, based on UCD-SNMP library), most of my services ( SMTP, SNPP, DNS, WWW, Web-cache ( you can write tcp-chats to monitor any plain tcp protocols also )). Local machines LA monitoring based on /var/rwho/whod.machine information, and for remote machines you can use hqdaemon - program, which runs from inetd and can tell with "propiertary" :) protocol is everything ok with LA and disk space. And the last feature - you can run your own scripts, and analyse their return code to know, is everything ok. The system writes the system state in the three plain files, which are: problems.txt - containing the information about the things, which considered to be really a problem ( f.e. if i get the SMTP server, which refused connection once - there is not a "problem" - just a warning state, but if it refuses connections three minutes in a row - that is. ) flaps.txt - contains informaion of all things which in a problem or in a warning state status.txt - status information about all monitored objects. Also, there are two log-files - outages.list - which is a log of problems, and debug.txt - for debugging output. If anyone interested - you can download it from ftp://ftp.lexa.ru/pub/domestic/snar/hqmon*gz, online documentation is available on http://www.lexa.ru/snar/hqmon/ but, the big disfeature of the system is that documented on Russian language. Anyway, the configuration file and installation istructions commented on english, and you can ask me for help. I should be really pleasured if anyone in that mailing-list who know Russian and English helps me to translate that documentation ( my English is really bad to write documentation on English :( ) -- Alexandre Snarskii the source code is included To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
