I need to find a solution where I can monitor multiple sites at once and know when they go down. There are fraudulent sites (not mine I am in the infosec industry)
I have been playing with Nagios and Zabbix all day with not much luck. I have managed to get both installed and running and researched for hours. I just need to figure out how to add domain names to be monitored and I am stuck. I know you have to do it in the conf files but I cannot get a domain to show up?
I've been scanning the apache2 docs for the past few days and have not come up with an answer my following issue:
In my httpd.conf file, at the very end, I have the line
Include conf/vhosts/vhost_*.conf
However, when I run apache checkconfig or try to start apache, it gives me the error:
httpd: Syntax error on line 993 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/vhost_1.conf: Permission denied
It appears as if the Include line is correct - in terms of it grabbing the first virtual host conf file. However, I'm confused on the permissions. the /etc/httpd folder is owned by root:root, as are the subfolders. As a test, I chown'd the conf/vhost folder combination and all the vhost files to apache:apache to see if that made a difference, and it appeared to make no difference at all. The log files don't contain anything (assumed because apache isn't starting). If I place the contents of the vhosts in a singular vhosts.conf it works - with the permissions set to root:root. I'd like to avoid having to use one vhosts conf for the configuration I'm trying to achieve - as it would make my life a lot easier.
This is a repost of my initial problem, I need some one who knows what they are doing more than I too take a look at this command output and give some sort of direction/clue/etc on what I'm doing wrong or missing.
Is my xorg.conf missing some vital line(s) or setting?
My best guess is that i'm missing something to tell the Xserver to use both screens, as the Xorg.0.log does not talk about trying to bring up the intel display; but this is just a hunch.
I'm running kubuntu 9.04 with 2 monitors: on-board intel video and a PCI nvidia display: I am using my nvidia display fine, but still can not get my 2nd display (the intel) working. What the heck am I missing?
I currently have a single mysql instance for a couple of websites. Both websites require that the user provide a username.
The thing I just noticed is that two people might choose the same username for both applications. Both of them would have grants to each others' tables, although neither would ever be able to access them, since they can only access through php scripts.
But, I'm now guessing this is not best practice. What does one do? Run multiple instances of mysql for several websites?
I'm setting up a server on Ubuntu 10.04 for development. It all seems to work nicely, I just have one thing that's bugging me. I have a project in /var/www/portfolio, which is as you may guess my portfolio. Instead of the link http://localhost/portfolio I'd like to use http://portfolio.nl. So I set up a file 'portfolio.nl' under sites-available and a symlink on sites-enabled containing this: To get this to work on my local machine I set up this in /etc/hosts:
I am trying add three namebased virtual hosts in local apache2 webserver OS ubuntu 10.10. The three sites are :www.site1.eka,www.site2.eka,www.site2.eka
The first I created a file is virtual.conf in conf.d directory its content is : # we're running multiple virtual hosts. # NameVirtualHost *:80
Next I created following files in sites-available directory. [URL] is as follows: #site1.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.site1.eka) <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@site1.eka ServerName www.site1.eka ServerAlias site1.eka .....
When I visit the [URL] in browser it says server not found.
I have a CentOS-5 Server with Nagios installed,through which I monitor three other servers.I want to monitor a Linux partition which is mounted under CentOS-5 server which has Nagios installed.
I need to setup a box to monitor what websites users are accessing on a small network.I don't have a switch with a spam port, but I do have a machine with two nic cards. I would like to set it up between the router and cable modem so that users won't know it is there but it logs all the websites that are being accessed.
I have managed to configure AWstats to work from one server to access the log files for multiple websites on multiple servers and even managed to write a little front end php site to access all the different conf files. I want to know if there is a way of combing two conf files for the same site but are on two different servers in a loadbalanced situation. so my conf files look something like: [URL].. I have to monitor bandwidth for our websites and its gets tedious switching between the various conf files for the same site and totaling it up so I was hoping I could combine the output of both conf files on screen using some funky command in the awstats.pl script
I've currently got a centos server setup in my home. It has 1 website running on it and I am using DynDNS.com's service to access the server. DynDNS works by redirecting a free url to the IP address of your server. I would like to add a second website under a different url. However, I'm not sure how to add a second IP address (which I would then use with DynDNS to create a new url).
Yesterday i install nagios, after that i can successfully monitor my local machine disk usage and its services, but now i want to monitor remote host, but have no idea how to do this , i also google alot but not getting resource full explanation.so please guys tell me how can i monitor the remote host using nagios..
Is there a way to monitor a wall outlet with nagios.I want to check if we got some power out of a wall outlet.This is to check whether we are running on the electricity network or on our diesel power generator.The wall outlet is connected only to the electricity network, so if there is no more power coming out of the outlet that mean that we are running on the diesel power generator.
Trying to monitor mysql 5.0.77 with nagios 3.2.1 under CentOS 5.4. Everything with nagios has been running without a hitch for me, however, when I added the following to /etc/nagios/objects/localhost.cfg to try to monitor mysql, I get an error that reads "Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR! Restart aborted. Check your Nagios configuration."
define service{ use local-service host_name localhost service_description MYSQL check_command check_mysql notifications_enabled 1 }
This is pretty much what I added to monitor other things on the server such as ftp and smtp, just switched out check_smtp with check_mysql, etc.
I have installed nagios successfully also able to monitor windows hosts. but not able to monitor linux hosts. i have follow below procedure, installation part and evertything was ok.but still i am not able to see linux host under nagios. i followed below url for monitor linux hosts on nagios.URL...
I have installed ubuntu on Vmware.I work in Lan environment and I have 2 local linux servers in my office.I have installed nagios on ubuntu.but nagios doesnt show other hosts in office.How to do I add other hosts in the office in nagios so that I can monitor network properly?
I am unable to create above vsftpd site with port '21'. Below is the problem,
# vsftpd vsftpd-site1.conf & [1] 14448 500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket
I wonder, i can able to create above FTP site with another port (example, listen_port=60001 ). In Linux(vsftpd), can i use default ftp port '21' for multiple FTP sites?
I have this intra net server project going on and now I moved to 10.04 however there are still some things that I would like to see clarification and instructions on. I am interested to set up multiple parallel websites for my apache server, however I am not sure how to do this exactly. Now I have solid address rivera.wippies.net and port 80 redirecting to my server. What I would like to get done is that I get multiple independent of each other websites for my server I was thinking of making websites like this
/var/www/site1 (which would be as rivera.wippies.net) /var/www/site2 (which would be as rivera.wippies.net/othersite) /var/www/site3 (which would be rivera.wippies.net/secondothersite)
etc, so that I have multiple "individual" websties for my server. Requirements would be that each of these websites could have SSL encryption as needed available too, since some of the website could have confidential information.
I currently am running 10.04.1 and have successfully setup my home web server to run a single website. My current settings are:
-I have registered the domain name annarrankings.com through godaddy -A record is - host = @ and points to = 71.114.220.3 -CName is - host = www and points to = @ -on my server I have the site running in /var/www
I've done some research and found that to run multiple websites I need to setup VirtualHost.
-So I created a folder /var/www/annarrankings.com and moved my site to that folder
-Edited Apache2.conf to add the following line
-I then went to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and copied the default file to a new file called annarrankings.com. Here's the annarrankings.com file after I edited it
-I then created a link in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to the annarrankings.com file in /etc/apache2/sites-available
-Next I editied /etc/hosts
-When i went to enable the site using a2ensite annarrankings.com I got the following
I figured this was ok since I had already created a symbolic link earlier (a result of trying to following multiple tutorials and ..... videos at once) so I reloaded apache2. I created an index.html file in /var/www/ just for testing purposes and when I load www.annarrankings.com I get the file located in /var/www/ instead of the website located in /var/www/annarrankings.com Do I need to change my A record or CName in godaddy or did I just do this completely wrong?
I am having individual Linux server and need to install nagios monitoring tool on the server. How to install on this linux server. I am using CentOS. Need to to monitor mysql and http services.
Obviously Nagios will page out once for each host and service goes down. But, is there a way to configure it to page out once, kind of like "Hey, LOTS of stuff just went down." Rather than 200+ individual pages?
Updating my install of OpenSUSE from 11.0 to 11.3 and notice that the Nagios network monitor can no longer probe servers with self signed certs.It appears to be any monitor that used openssl 1.0.0 has an issue. If I install the openssl 0.9.8 libraries and use old plugins linked against it, they work fine.
I'll preface this by saying i'm by no means an expert on Linux. A competant beginner at most.We have a dedicated server, the 'resolv.conf' was changed, specifically the domain that was listed (this is the primary domain).I only became aware of this change, when we get into work on Friday and all our sites were down - I attributed this to DNS fault as if I changed my host file (I work on a windows machine) and specifically routed to the domains to the correct IP address, the websites were served fine.I tracked down the resolv.conf change by quizzing a collegue. I then switched the resolv.conf file back to it's original state - luckily a backup was made so I am 100% sure that the current resolv.conf is the correct one.
change was made Friday morning, around 9.30am (UK time). It is now 5.05pm (UK time). The original change was made sometime on Weds afternoon, and the sites stopped serving between Thursday night and Friday morning.Does anyone have any idea how long it should take for the fix to be picked up? Will it be picked up? I just started to think that the change can't be picked up due to some DNS related voodoo.
I just want to know how to monitor urls using nagios.i.e running web applications under tomcat. can any one pleasAe provide me links or docs that narrates,how to configure nagios in a way to monitor our web applications. we already configured nagios for monitoring remote servers load,login details, disk space etc. But we could not find any documents for configuring nagios in order to monitor webapplications.
I bought a very beaultiful pink tv-monitor 26", model LG26LED6500 for my daughter and I also intend to enjoy it setting up in my slackware 13.37. Then I use a VGA cable and 6600GT nvidia card, but now I'm having a doubt because there aren't vertical and horizontal frequencies specs in this manual. Only:
I did a xorg.conf using a vesa driver and kde screen output was a 1024x768 - 61hz.
If I try to use a nvidia driver and xorg.conf piece above X break down. If I use any manual frequency parameters X break down too.
1)What's the difference between CRT config and tv-monitor xorg?
2)Have I use strings modeline monitor and modes screen in this situation?
