Do you guys know any free tools to monitor a server ? Something like Nagios or Zenoss but free. If so what's a good one that you guys would recommend ?
Can it be setup on 3 ubuntu servers running KVM ?
I've got a question on free disk space. I'm currently running CentOS 5.5 on in Xenserver virtual environment. We've had an issue with disk space. My question is as follows: - from a ssh connection i run df -h this gives the value of 90% used leaving me with 9GB. If I use system monitor via a VNC connection the free disk space value is 20GB free on the same volume. Which one is correct? I do use SNMP to monitor the same volume and should alert me when < 10% is free I know this works as I set the alert threshold to < 90% I get an alert.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a server that is running RHEL4 that occasionally spikes in load average above 10 and we have no idea what is causing it. We would like to know if there are any free tools or a script that when the load average hits a certain point it will trigger the system to start logging the processes to see what is happening. Usually by the time we get logged into the system the load average is on its way down. If someone has a better idea please let me know.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to have a Linux server "control" a number of Windows workstations. The workstations are a mixture of XP Pro, 7 Pro, and 7 Home Premium (the latter won't join a domain so can't have all the features I want mind). I want:
Centralised username and password database. Easy to add users. Roaming user profiles, so users can switch computers and take their settings with them. If possible, settings for selected programs shared between XP and 7. (They need separate profiles.) My Documents on a network file server. I'm interested in having transparent versioning on this - perhaps by using a copy-on-write filesystem, perhaps just by using a version control app on the server and having cron make a commit every night.
Able to manage software installation and removal centrally. (This I already do, using WPKG). Able to manage configuration centrally. Basically pretty much anything the user could change, I want to be able to force a setting of. I'm thinking desktop wallpaper locking, forcing use of a web proxy, setting printers, restricting use of USB drives, etc. Printer accounting.
Give the clients resolvable names (probably DNS, maybe WINS). This is mainly to help if I need to remote into a client desktop. I don't know to what extent this can be done with Samba. I know it doesn't have all the features of Windows servers, but I know next to nothing about Windows servers. So, can what I want be done? How I'm prepared to read docs for and test things out, but I don't want to be looking for tutorials on something not possible!
Was wondering if anyone can explain briefly the relationship of "cache" and free memory in the "free" memory command.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to know how can I cross compile SMS SERVER TOOL for an embedded computer and make just one binary file for it or how can I change all of its default files places like its demon and object file and gather all of them to one directory to execute and use and run.let me explain it better for you : I have an embedded computer with Linux OS that its file system is read only and I can not add any file to /usr /lib and ..... and I can just mount a SD memory card to it and copy all of my programs to it and run them from there as you understand I have two choices to choose, first make one big binary file for each program that I am doing it now and it is not a suitable solution and the second is finding the way to change default place of shared object file of my program.now you tell me what can I do to solving this problem.

All I want is a simple way so my frien and I can play chess over the net. So I looked at php scripts. Nothing suitable, that I could find. I'd like a nice web interface.

Our primary sever is centos with WHM installation and hosts about 600 websites.(need to monitor mysql & port 80 on this.)The secondary one is windows server with virtuzzu installation and host about 15 windows VPS (The server crashing some times and we need to findout its out of service ASAP .)Should we use monitoring websites such as hypersins.com or siteuptime.com (which is a little expensive for us especially because of international sms rates.) or there is nice tools we can easily configure and use !

For example, the loss of a single unencrypted laptop may have huge repercussions. This could include breaching data protection legislation with the risk of a significant fine, a loss in the confidence of an organisation, as well as the risk that sensitive data may fall into the hands of a competitor or third party with malicious intent.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been busy with configuring Samba with the 389-Directory Server (former Fedora Directory Server) for the past weeks and I almost have everything working. The last thing (I hope) that I haven working are the smbldap-tools which I'd like to use for adding computers and users to the domain. The part where I'm stuck is with the security certificates. I don know how to get the client certificates out of my installation.
My smbldap.conf file contains this:
Code:
# $Source: $
# $Id: smbldap.conf,v 1.18 2005/05/27 14:28:47 jtournier Exp $
#
# smbldap-tools.conf : Q & D configuration file for smbldap-tools
# Purpose :
# . be the configuration file for all smbldap-tools scripts .....
I used the setupssl2.sh script to setup ssl for my 389-ds, which seemed to have worked fine. I however simply have no clou how to get client certificates out of this.
Is it possible to install some administrative tools under the System -> Administration tab of the Desktop edition of Ubuntu, so that xinetd, chkconfig, netservices, etc can be controlled? I am left with an uneasy feeling about my Desktop version, and finding that it is running services that I really do not want to allow. Apache2 is running for example, but I really am not a web server (yet). Another service is strigi, the indexer. I prefer to have it turned off at times.What administrative tools does Ubuntu offer that can be placed in the sys-admin tab?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up to serve Linux kernels and filesystems disklessly, and find the startup and test procedure a bit tedious.Can anyone point to a tool or tools to allow me to see what is going on with my DHCP/TFTP/PXE setup, which I'm trying to get working? Ideally, I'd like a tool that can do something like grab an IP from a DHCP/BOOTP server, tell me all about all that it found, and then if it was told to download a file, it could do that and tell me about how that went, and so on. Between the information reported by the tool and the droppings left in logfiles on the server side, I would hope to simplify the configuration process, as well as let me experiment with various options, etc. Even a PXE client tool that I can use to exercise my tftp PXE server configuration from a shell commandline would be extremely useful.If no such tool already exists, would anyone else find something like this useful?
