hey all,
I'm using monit for all system processes on all the servers I run, it
works wonderfully, dutifully notifying me that it has prevented the sky
from falling.
It has occured to me that it would be VERY VERY nice to have monit also
collect performance data and write RRD databases, since it is
constantly running and checking processes. The most interesting
performance data for me is system load an HTTP response times on
localhost (I want to know if it is taking 10 seconds for apache to
respond), however I'm sure it would be trivial to collect other data as
well. Even better if that information was exposed in the monit HTTP
interface. I would be happy to donate an interface design for that, btw.
Self monitoring and self healing machines = sexy ;)
Any thoughts?
