I used to have a log file monitoring script on my server but after an auto update recently it seems to have disapperaed.Can anyone think of some log file analyzers that send outputs of ssh, amount of disk space used etc. as I cannot remember the name of the program at all.
View 1 RepliesI'm running a Debian/Samba PDC on a Windows network. We desire to monitor a few network shares, so that whenever a change is made to a file in those, we have a log of who did it and when. Some capability of seeing what the change was, or a way of reverting it, would be nice luxuries. But username and timestamp are most important, if possible.
On the debian forums, someone advised using Tripwire for this purpose. didn't give much other advice about it so I kind of struck out on my own researching tripwire. got it installed, played wth it, and found it problematic, to say the least. It seems a bit much on the complexity and security side, and it seems more oriented towards maintaining system integrity, than monitoring documents. So far I've not managed to get a policy update working on account of a cascade of errors about a few hundred files under /proc disappearing, despite no changes to the system.so I'm wondering if anyone here has advice.
1. Does debian have this sort of functionality built in? is there a system log I can parse to get this information?
2. Is tripwire the right application for our purpose?
3. Is there anything better suited, more user-friendly or more parsimonious. I don't need something to monitor all system files, guard against intrusion, and make me cups of tea, just to monitor a few folders that I specify
At our company we have a central server with client files. This server has a SSH server installed, and through Nautilus all employees can access the files. However, I have a few questions:
1. Most employees need access to all folders, because they might use them at some point in time. However, I want to make sure they are not accessing things they do not need. How can I do this? For instance, if somebody copies all of the folders to his/her computer, I want to be able to see this in some sort of log. Can this be done? Copying and accessing in general is what is of my concern.
2. Some employees only need access to specific folders. Can this be easily configured with SFTP?
3. Some also use SSH and type commands which I want to check every now and then (e.g. to make sure an intern is not again copying information or accessing folders they should not be in). What is a good way to do this?
I have an application which generate logs like this

I just switch back to ubuntu after running the windows for about a 6 months again, new laptop, programs needed in windows, either way I'm back. What I had setup in windows were specific files that would auto backup to my samba file server when the network was detected. I'm looking to do the same in ubuntu now. Basically I'm thinking of writing a script to backup the files, only thing I'd be stuck with is how to tell the script to run when I connect to the network at home? Is their software already designed for this.

I used the Internet normally on Wednesday, and upgrade manager ran as normal. Thursday, was out, so did not use laptop - Friday, no connection to Internet.
I have done a bit of research - pinging tells me that the connection to the router is fine, but nothing to the Internet. The same router is working fine for my windows desktop machine. After a frustrating weekend, I have thought of comparing settings on the desktop and laptop, and have found that there are 2 DNS server addresses on my desktop machine. Entering these into windows has got the laptop back on the Internet using windows, but I cannot work out how to do this in system/preferences/network connections in Ubuntu.
We have few servers and we need to monitor mysql and ping (port 80) on our servers to send us email notification and also we need sms notification when something is wrong, we can ask our developer to write sms notification (which is very important for us) because we already have the API and only need a output from a good monitoring tools to show to our developer and ask him to write the notification program.
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 !
I setting up a web server on my Linux (Centos) using "Apache" web server. And its working well, it will show my websites. But when i try to put my url in a internet browser (ie. only type "myweb.com" ) is only be [URL]. Usually as i know like the other websites (ie. google.com) it will go to auto replace the name be [URL]. But my url here it's not be replacing like that. How to do this configuration. I don't know where the services that i need to look. (ie; named (bind) or in Apache web server it self)?

I was looking for some software to run on my Debian vServer which monitors RAM, CPU and HDD usage. This tool should not require Gnome/KDE, so I guess I'll end up with a PHP tool. I did some search but came up with nothing. I'm using Parallels Power Panel (there might be a plugin or something like that?)

View 3 Replies View RelatedBasically, I go through certain logs on my linux hosts checking for anything out of place. You know, the usual, /var/log/messages, lastlog, etc. What I've been using is just a simplistic grep statement that looks for keywords in certain log files, such as warn, crit, etc., with the -i flag to ensure no case searches. I thought, well, surely there are others out there doing the same thing, but more automated. Perhaps something that can check files for keywords and then notify, via email, if anything out of the ordinary is seen.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for some sort of a way keep track of all of my users that are logging in to my server (centos 5), what I mean is this: at our firm we outsource some of our work (programing), now all of the developing is done under our servers, what I'd like to find is a way of taking all of the users log on time and display by days/weeks/months - so I could see how much did everyone had put in. Another thing that I'm looking for is a way to monitor an ongoing session and record user activity, now I've seen ObserveIT, but it doesn't support Linux agents as of today.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an application that can run remotely to periodically check a webserver to ensure that it's delivering pages. I can't use one of the free web-based services because the servers I'm monitoring are closed to the outside internet. I have internal client machines I'd like to install the monitoring tool onto that can check specific URLs in both HTTP and HTTPS. Then email a notification when something stops responding. It would be nice to have a tool that is platform agnostic (written in perl, python, etc.) so I could have flexibility in what type of client machine I use for the monitoring.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI didn't setup our old system but that server has since been retired due to hardware failure, but we have some new webervers, and a new postgtres database server in place which I need monitoring. Some items include database size, transactions per second, io stats, memory monitoring, or as the DBA put "anything I can get". We had used CACTI in the past for these items, but I didn't do the setup and sondering if that is what is recommended, or something else. I am looking at groundwork open source which include nagios, etc. but figured I would consult the uforums since all these servers are running userver 9.x and 10.x .
